My Two Cents Worth Regarding Triton Speakers Placement:
1. Spacing: GE recommends an equilateral triangle. I interpret that recommendation as a general guideline. Spacing in an individual room must be evaluated by listening.
2. Sound Stage: I believe that not being able to identify specific sound sources (except in the case of obvious and exaggerated stereo sound effects) trumps other side-to-side spacing considerations - and especially for listening to 2-channel stereo music with a known sound stage (example: classical symphony orchestra or classical choral music). I should be able to close my eyes and "see" the orchestra or chorus on stage as they would be if I were at a live performance.
3. Distance from speakers to PLP and speakers away from back wall: Compromises may be necessary due to limitations of space available. Each listener must decide whether to pull the speakers away from the back wall, at the expense of shortening the distance between the speakers and the PLP. For me, the perception of depth of sound and sound stage replication is the determining factor.
4. Distance from side walls - again determine by listening within the constraints of the room.
In other words, move them around until you find the sweet spot.
Happy listening,
