I used this guide and it works well.    http://www.cardas.com/content.php?area=insights&content_ id=26&pagestring=Room+Setup or you can use this guide http://www.realtraps.com/art_room-setup.htm Or you can do it by listening and adjusting until it works correctly for you. Best of luck, it is a fun thing to do and you get to learn a lot about acoustics.

that guys method leaves you sitting almost directly at the center of the room. Not a good idea!

and his web site goes on to say

"An infinitely indivisible progression known as the Fibonacci sequence or golden section is the key to resonance control. The ratio of Phi, or 1 to 1.6180339887...to infinity, is the Golden Mean, called golden ratio or golden proportion. Cardas Audio holds the patent, U.S. Patent Number 4,628,151, where the ratio of Phi is applied to any electrical conductor.

In Golden Section Stranding, strands are arranged so that every strand is coupled to another, whose note is irrational with its own dissipating conductor resonance. This creates a silenced conductor, allowing Cardas cable to produce the purest possible audio signal. No other cable geometry, no other conductor design, can create the listening magic of Golden Section Stranding."

Those patented Phi/Fibuonacci sequence cables are golden alright! Golden Goose Eggs!

“Mispelling is often the sign of a good tech” Dear Tom, You must be a brilliant technician. The word ‘mispelling’ does not even occur in the dictionary. I believe the word you meant to write is ‘misspelling'. But misspelt it.

Sorry just catching up on this thread. No that spelling was intentional P. it's called a joke ... Glad to see that you picked up on the subtlety.

My purpose in writing is not to correct you, but to publicly convey your convincing technical prowess and engineering experience to the whole world. I'm concerned... Has there been too much fungicide sprayed on the apples you’ve been eating recently? As appears to be the case demonstrated here...              http://www.gearslutz.com/board/mastering-forum/156681-who-ha ndsome-young-man.html

Also a joke?

To quote one of the great bards of the late 70's:
"Does anyone remember laughter?"

Vincent Van Haff! And the "Golden Mean"!
It's back!

I personally don't agree with everything Mr. Cardas says BUT his system for setting up speakers seems to work for my situation(with a little "by ear" tweaking). I think his cables are overpriced and some of his ideas about cables are a bit "off the wall" from a physic's standpoint but he seems to sells a lot of them to golden eared audiophiles.....

I noticed that you were quick to shoot down this method but did not offer any suggestions that you had used and worked well for you so could you enlighten me what system you use in your "mastering room" and why you have found it to work so well.

By the way if you do the math you will see that you are NOT in the middle of the room if you follow the advice quoted in my original post.
