Set-up and Installation
Contents
The speakers come on 60 cm high stands that this time are not decoupled by the IsoAcoustics Aperta feet. We tried this but it was rather disadvantageous with the Super 10A. The Kudos is already a somewhat nimble speaker by nature and the Aperta’s took away some more subbass. This was not desirable in our setup and space.
Kudos also provides their own stands for the Cardea series but these, although beautifully made, are quite pricey. We use some toe-in with the Kudos Cardea Super 10A. And we keep them a meter from the walls and place them about two and a half meters apart. We ourselves are also about two and a half meters from the speakers.
