B&W 802 speaker design criteria

[amdan]

It occurs to me that it would be very handy to know what sort of room placement my B&W 802N speakers were designed for. Then I would have a better idea on how to setup them up in my room. For instance, what was the distance between the speakers when they tested it? What was the distance between speakers and listener? How high above the floor was the listener or measuring equipment placed at? I know that these exact measurements may not be right for my room but at least I would have a good starting point. Does anybody have any ideas?
Does B&W produce a placement guide? I can't find one on the net. Please don't point me to the many general guides on the net. I am looking for one by B&W for B&W speakers.

B&W provides a very basic guide in the manual they provide but its not specific.

The Cardas guidelines have worked for me - check it out here -

Room acoustics and size play a major role in placement - since treating my room with bass traps I've been able to play around with positioning as well.

Good luck!
