Default Sumiko Master Set up question

I have started to try the Sumiko Master Set Up for my speakers. As I am working on refining this further and further (I just started an hour ago), I hear several variations of clear and crisp music...

My question is: Should it place Jennifer Warnes as if she is dead in front of me on a stage? Or should it sound like she is omnipresent completely surrounding me?

I had a document, I thought, that stated she should be dead center and up slightly...But the one I found and am currently using doesn't have that in it.

You should proceed with setups slowing, and reading various posts on this site may help, and see if you can balance your rooms bass, but the real Master setup is Sumiko's secret sauce taught to select dealers.

Happy Listening.

Ron

After Ron here at AA and some Googling, I found what I had vaguely remembered reading years ago with the Simuko Master Set up.

After a few hours spent moving and tweaking I am very close to ideal (no such thing as perfect, except for 1 man) I verified my set up by using the Chezsky Jazz Sampler and Audiophile Test CD. It turns out very useful and handy CD to verify stereo speaker placement...

Funny thing is I've had this CD for years and on several occasions what taught about throwing it away.

Finally, thanks again, Ron!!

I also use clear scotch tape marking the final speaker position, so I can always go back to it.
