These speakers live up to their billing as “big boxes.” Not exactfy flyweight either

So I was just reviewing this thread and why did I not realize the badges were supped to go on the inside not the outside.
Have I had mine backwards for months?
I would have assumed that the offset tweeter would mean that positioning DOES make a difference.There’s no backwards. I’ve always had mine on the outside. Tried both initially and outside sounded better. From Wharfedale I was told that the tweeter is offset so there is no right or wrong answer, experiment. One better suits larger spaces and the other smaller one but I can’t remember which way around it is…

Having the tweeters skewing outside would probably give a broader sound field.
I’m probably 12 feet from mine and absolutely love them.This damn thread is really making me rethink things.
How’s near-field on these things (say, 12’ ish?

As much as I’ve loved the JBLs since I was a kid, 1) these are more affordable and 2) I think the L100s would outgun my room. Plus these have a smaller footprint as well.Im probably 12 feet from mine and absolutely love them.
@Corycm mine are towed in quite a bit as well- a trick I learned when I had the Zus.As much as I’ve loved the JBLs since I was a kid, 1) these are more affordable and 2) I think the L100s would outgun my room. Plus these have a smaller footprint as well.
It's true. Those are L100s in the classic Maxell advertisment.I think the L100s would outgun my room
The opposite, I believe? The closer to the wall the boomier it gets.I have to be careful since I'm in apartment living but, if I want more bass the best thing to do is to pull them away from the walls right?

Opposite. The closer to the wall the more bass but there is the possibility of making them a bit “boomy” if you go too close.
For better bass I actually found adding a small sub was the way forward. Gotta be really careful in an apartment there though, I get away with it because of having concrete floors and I turn it off for electronic music.
