Sachiko

[Thump660]

Now I've almost compleated a set of Sachikos and wonder if anyone has a recomondation of placment? Toe-in, distances to side wall, distance to front wall etc.

Here is the music end of my living room where I intend to use them.

The room is 10.8 feet wide and 25.3 long. Listening position is 11 feet from the speakers

I would sit in the best spot and make your significant other move them around until you are happy. No "Honey, move it more to the right, no in a little, no push them apart." They won't mind helping you find perfection.....jp

My listening room is a little wider and about 18 feet long. My
Sachikos are about 6 ft apart and very slightly toed in (around
10 to 15 degrees, I guess). Distance from the walls appears to
be similar to what you have.
They sound great with a Dynaco ST70 clone.

I think you need to move your laptop out of the way, and return the lovely lady in the photograph back to her original location.

Oh, and nice looking Sachiko

The DVD player is back in the cabinet, and the photo of the lovely lady(my wife) is back besides my amp

The Sachiko sound seven better than they look

This is not far from how I've put them now... I use a bit more toe in though...
I'm using a Leben CS600 with KT88 tubes.
Sounds very good! I prefer these over my Klipsch Cornwall III. Tomorrow I'll do some tube rolling in this amp to see how they'll respond to that.

I have a pair of Saburo, and enjoy them very much. I've been wanting to build a pair of Sachiko, and I'm quite convinced I will do so some day. My basement is a very irregularly shaped ~15' by ~50'. I keep the Saburo far from the back wall (maybe 10' or so?) and maybe 8' apart. I do not toe them in. I sit maybe another 10' ~ 12' back from the centerline of the speakers.

Then my Sachiko are getting a finish...
They'll be white. They are rather large so it's probably best to keep them in the same colour scheme as the rest of the room.

Very nice looking! Is that a projector screen peeking out just behind that second horizontal brace?
