should be close enough together to achieve proper "coupling" of the
midrange ribbon driver. Coupling is desirable in the lower
frequencies from the mid-bass on down. This simply means that the
left and right drivers "work together" as opposed to working
separately.

If you find there isn't enough deep bass, your first remedy is the
volume control on the woofer amplifier. This has several limitations.
First, turned up too high, you may get some distortion on very low
frequencies or you may overheat the amplifier.

Push the woofer towers back towards the rear wall. This will
increase the coupling of the woofers to the room. Do this procedure
in small increments (approximately three inches at a time) and
return often to the recordings you have used to adjust the front to
back depth and soundstage properties of your system. It is easy,
yet unproductive, to go too far in one direction (and if you move the
woofer towers too far from the rear wall you may lose low bass
extension).

Secondly, you may make the mid bass produced by the top of the
woofer out of proportion with the mid bass produced by the bottom
of the midrange ribbon. This would tend to sound bloated or thick in
the mid bass regions.

Another good rule of thumb is to first set the volume control of the
woofer towers for proper midbass rather than low bass. The theory
is that if the midbass is correct, then the low bass should be very
close to correct. If the midbass is proper and the low bass is still not
right, here are some other suggestions.

A good balance between proper low bass extension and a deep
and spacious soundstage needs to be established to optimize your
new speaker's performance.
