45 degree placement in squarish room?

So, maybe the room is 50-60% of the sound after all?

I think it is more than that.

"So, maybe the room is 50-60% of the sound after all?"

Whatever the number I believe it is high enough that it always pays to make it the primary thing to always keep under consideration.

I tried that in a 14' square room,gave up and move the system into another and larger room.

Well, I'd opt for a larger non-square room as well if I had one.

Unfortunately, the room where I do this is only 12X12 and square accordingly. Given that, I have no complaints at all by any standard about the results my current setup delivers in that room.
