Are you a U or a V or an X ?

It depends.

Non U? :wink:

I am a V.

I identify as poly fluid, mostly V with a little touch of X.

Not sure what you mean, @Paul_C ā€¦? And I would rather not guessā€¦

Pls - can you explain your question betterā€¦??

Iā€™ll give you a clue. Most Kudos Titan owners are a U, some with a touch of V.

Seriously it is about how much are your speakers toed in.

Can I try toā€¦ interpret this thenā€¦?

U - meaning both speakers back to the wall, and parallel to each otherā€¦

V - toed in - but not ā€˜crossed overā€™

X - toed in - and ā€˜crossed overā€™

Do I win a Mars Barā€¦??

What suits best will depend on the speakers, and also on the room, the speaker positioning, and listening positionā€¦

Mine are directed slightly behind the listening position (which is about 40% of the distance from front to back wall). So sitting just above base o& V, or above crossover point of X.

On one of my systems I prefer to listen with my back in direction of the loudspeakers. What is the suggested character for that?

I reckon

@Paul_C - Coolā€¦ :sunglasses:

And I am a ā€˜Uā€™ā€¦ but might just try ā€˜Vā€™ā€¦

V
My Focal Aria 926 are toed in with the crossing axis behind my earsā€¦

X here.

Forum will not let me reply with just an ā€œXā€.

Surely never an X?

Mine are V but are focused a long way behind me rather than just the 300 mm or so that used to be recommended.

Thatā€™s more of a U.

Bugger, youā€™re right. I didnā€™t read the descriptions correctly. The focal point is behind me.

So are parallel an H?
