In the off chance someone on this forum has some experience/knowledge with setting up Alexias - specifically the upper cabinet, I thought I'd throw this question out.
The Alexia manual contains a propagation chart in order to adjust the Alexia's upper cabinet (called Upper Array by Wilson) correctly for listening distance and height. There are 4 settings:
- Upper Array Spike Length
- Upper Array Alignment Block Position
- Upper Array Alignment Block Step
- Tweeter Detent Position
The chart lists Ear Height and Listening Distance. My issue is that the granularity is not fine enough and it's not easy to interpolate between them. For example the listening distance lists 11, 12 & 14 feet. If you're at 13 feet you're doing some guesswork and/or trial and error. In my case, I'm at 11.5 feet. The 12' doesn't seem right - it's somewhat dull sounding - and the 11' is too aggressive. I need something in between, but what to change?
My seating height is 36" and here are the values in the propagation chart for the 11 & 12 feet:
.......Spike........Block Pos........Block Step......Tweeter
11'.:...3..............14...................9................4
12'.:...4...............9....................7................5
As you can see it's not easy to interpolate between the two.
Anyone have any experience with this? I'm accepting gut feelings and outright guesses too.
