How do you set up your speakers?

Just wanted to know from different people. What speakers do you have? How much do they put out? And how do you set them up?

I would like to know how you set them up @ home...as well as when you play @ a party.

Recently I changed my set up.
I have 5 milk crates stacked up at ear level with my computer speakers w/ subwoofer at the top.
Logitech of course. Those speakers last forever and they're only 60 bucks at wal mart.
Sounds gr8!

In the studio:
Top Shelf gear there, placed high in each corner of the control room. Two smaller monitors placed right in front of the console with a mono channeled subwoofer placed directly left of the monitors.

At home:
Since my DAW is my computer, I have a 2.1 system setup to that with my tables/laptop setup to the right. In the opposite end of the room I have my 18" three-ways setup. Putting the tables directly in the center.

I have the JBL Eon-15 on a stand right next to me. A bit too big and loud for me. Hoping I can sell them and get smaller montors

Best way to setup any kind of monitoring speaker is with your ears level with the median between woofer and tweeter, and in an equilateral triangle to the sitting position. Actual distance from seating position depends on the speaker, small, quiet, speakers should be closer. The closer you go, the "worse" the stereo field will be, but thats not really an issue as you should be mixing in mono.

The "best" way to setup PA speakers is high and angled down. If you have them too low, sound waves are absorbed by the front row audience and the people at the back hear bugger all.

I have Event TR6s, but they are for production. I'm buying a pair of Behringer Eurolives for DJing. Theyre crap, loud and harsh, but the bass blows womens clothes off and thats all thats important.
