speaker and again mark off 1/2 inch increments side to side.
• Using only one channel/speaker at a time, you will now determine the
optimum position with regard to the side walls.
Note: A high quality, solo piano recording works well for this step.
• While the music is playing, slowly move the speakers left or right one
inch then 1/2 inch at a time until you achieve the best harmonic

You should not need to move the speaker any more than one inch left or
right from the original location. Do this independently for each channel. What
you will hear when the speaker moves into the correct location is a reduction of
hardness and muddied harmonics from the piano.
Note: If you continue moving the speaker past this point, you will begin to
hear again this fatiguing artifact.
When you have determined the optimum location for each speaker, mark it
carefully, and make certain the toe-in is correct. When installing the spikes, the
speakers may shift slightly, but you can move them precisely back to the correct
location again using your tape markers.
