What is the stereo triangle?

The stereo triangle is an equilateral triangle formed by your two speakers and your listening position. Each side is the same length, creating optimal stereo imaging.

How wide is the stereo sweet spot?

For an 8-foot listening distance with proper equilateral setup, the sweet spot is about 2.8 feet wide. Moving significantly off-center shifts the stereo image.
