Hi,
I am very excited to finally own a set of Triton Two speakers. I purchased them along with a 60c center and two sat3 surrounds that will be hooked up later this week after I finally decide on final positioning.
I'm wondering a bit about my speaker positioning, Due to the constraints of the room, one speaker is "caged" near a wall while another is completely wide open. Here's a picture:

- I understand from Sandy's recommendations that I should probably move the left speaker so it will not be symmetric from the back and the left of the walls. Any thoughts on whether it's better to pull it away from the side wall or away from the back wall?
- Will I be better off moving the right speaker CLOSER to the left to make a smaller sound stage, but in return get two speakers facing the back wall (instead of wide open on the right as is now)?
- If it's better to keep them farther apart, should I pull it even farther apart so it will exceed my "perfect triangle" positioning? I love the sound, but currently I'm not feeling that "3d soundstage" that everyone is talking about, I feel the audio clearly coming from the right or left speaker.
- i'm also feeling that the midrange is not as clear and wide open as I would have liked at times. is this something that's supposed to also be improved after break-in? I only have about 10 hours on it at the moment. One of the weirdest anomalies I am experiencing is that with my old, very cheap floorstanding speakers, vinyl sounded wonderful while CD's sounded "just ok". With the new tritons, my vinyls sound "pretty good" while CD's sound amazing. I'm using the same sources and amps (Rega RP3 turntable, Emotiva XSP-1 Preamp, Emotiva XPA-3 Amp), which makes this quite perplexing to me
.
- Is there a reason to connect the triton two's to a surge protector / power conditioner, or do they contain fault protection built in? I want to know if there's any real gain in doing so.
Above all, the tritons sound amazing. I still didn't hookup my receiver, center and surrounds, can't wait!
