Positioning makes a huge difference to the volume and clarity. If you wish to have two speakers connecting to one another, leave at least 8 feet of space between both speakers to prevent the sound from becoming muddy. Place your speaker directly in front of where you and guests will spend most of the time. This way, the sound waves travel directly towards you. Make sure the speakers are at least 3 feet away from the wall to minimize sound reflections and prevent playback clarity
