I am brutally stupid when it comes to things like standing waves and the like. I just hook it up, do this and that and hope it works. However, I have been doing some research on diagonal setups and I don't seem to find nearly as much info as I can with regular setups. I have lots of questions. Where can I find more information on this?
Diagonal setup of system...
The other day I had to move my system to clean around the area. I carefully marked where everything was before so that I could put it back the way it was. In order to get to some places on the floor, I had to move the entire system over to a corner. I decided to hook it up to listen to music while I cleaned the area. To my surprise, my system sounded better than it did with a conventional setup, side to side. The system was setup diagonally, sub in the middle, in the corner and mains on each wall. Any reason for this? I am thinking of keeping it this way.

I am going for a diagonal room setup in the room I'm going to place my audio system/home office. Robert of Ridge Street Audio suggested I should go for such a setup in order to keep my speaker cables short and acoustics sounding right given my quasi nomadic lifestile. Here's a technical paper on diagonal room setup: How to set up a room with no treatment There's also a place where you can buy cheap room acoustic treatments; I've seen them advertised here in Audiogon: http://www.foambymail.com I suggest you buy a little laser pen and two small mirrors. |
