Naim Fraim positioning

[Chocolatine]

Hi everyone

I need your advice.I consider buying a Naim Fraim.For the moment my NSC222 &NAP250 are on a tv stand between my Focal’s Kanta 2.There is only one position where I can put the Naim Fraim.But the Naim Fraim will be a bit between one speaker and my listening position.Will it have negative effects on the sound quality?Is it better that I don’t buy Naim Fraim and keep my hi-fi system in its actual configuration.I’m going to share you a drawing where the Naim Fraim would stand.Sorry for the quality of the drawing and my English too.

Your English is fine!

The frame is a big step up in musicality. Having your equipment between the speakers is not so good. I think the position you marked will be good.

It would be good if your dealer will let you try?

My racks have been between my left speaker and my listening position for years. Fraim previously, and now HRS.

That works really well. This particular photo shows my new HRS rack, but it was the same when I had a double Fraim rack. This does not have any negative impact on sound.

Thank you @JosquinDesPrez

There can be negative effects of putting your HiFi between the speakers, so moving it to the side is probably a good move. However, it is largely the furniture, including shelves and the TV, that can cause acoustic problems. If you must have furniture between the speakers, try to ensure that the speakers are further forwards.

Ok.Thanks for your support

I wouldn’t put a Fraim there. It looks awful from the side and the cables will be really messy.

It is probably best to get a better rack to replace the current wooden support, and place it between the speakers with the TV on top.

The Quadraspire SVT 2 may be just what you want.
