Hello!
I need some help with my speaker and display setup.
Here is my situation:
I have three displays (a 30" and two 27"), and I really need them, since I do all my workflow with my DAW (no controller or analog mixer).
My Mixer is on one Screen, my Arrangement on the other one and my instruments and effects are on thr third one.
I tried to work with 2 displays - it basically was enough, but 90 % of the time I looked to the display with the arrangement so I never really was in the middle (sweetspot).
That's why I decited to use 3 displays - now I have the arrangement on the big one in the middle and anything else to the right and left.
Next year I will finally buy new speakers. After hours of comparing and listening I have decited to get two ADAM S3X-H.
I've read many threats about speaker placement here - I know my speakers would be too far away from each other (when I have all three displays between them) and I should not put my displays in front of the speakers.
That's why I need suggestions, how so set up the S3X-H speakers with my three large displays.
For checking out the possibilitiies I arranged a layout ( 1/10 scaled of original size)
The yellow area is where the tweeters have to be placed (about the hidh of my ears).
These are three possibilities that I came up with.
Setup A: Speakers above the displays, displays close too each other but speakers too high. Maybe "angle" them down a little to aim at me?

Setub B: Speaker right next to the large 30" display, probably best placement for speakers, but displays 2 & 3 are very far away...

Setup C: A mix of A and B, speakers above the smaller displays. The displays maybe a little low and the speakers just a little to high, but almoast in the right spot.

What do you think is the best setup or do you have any other ideas?
And by the way - merry Christmas!
