Apartment life sucks, but Ill be stuck living in one for a while. Before I had the current set up the speakers were set-up along the short wall with the room divided into thirds. I could only sit about 10 feet away with a damn bed in front of me. There were too many reflections with the walls and furniture. The sound was bright and the bass was thinner. I cant seem to get the exact seating position so that wraparound effect is lost, but the imaging is still good. The right speaker is closer ro the wall because of all the aforementioned crap in the room. It sounds better than it does before and Im so close the reflections are cut down.
strange effects from system rearranging..
I moved my system from the short side of the room to the wide side. I used to sit about six feet from my speakers and I was disappointed by the sound. I moved the system to the long wall close to the corner. Speakers are about 20" from back wall and right speaker is 24" from sidewall. I now sit 3 feet away with speakers toed in and tweeters meeting about 1 foot in front of me. WOW what a difference!
Vocals are dead ahead and full not thin, with drums sharper and bass fuller. Instruments come from behind and around the speakers. Some sounds come from far left and right of the speakers. Now im wrapped in sound. Its like the sound is in an arc in front of me. Im happier with the sound now. I was listening to Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians "Shooting Rubber Bands at the Stars" and I was surprised at the quality of the recording. Is this the way a properly setup system is supposed to sound?
