Ncdogdoc, thanks for the link, that’s about $30 less for the XLO test disc.
Cheeg, how due you get the sound stage to extend outwards without being out of phase?
Rego, thanks for your clarifications and the link to the Townsend video on decoupling. That was interesting. For a second beforehand I thought you were referring to a Pete Townsend video and wanting me to smash my speakers with a guitar to decouple them.
Rbstehno, the position of the doorways and the built-in cabinets below the bookshelves on the short walls precludes putting the speakers on the short wall. Also the flat screen TV is located above the stereo component shelves between the speakers on the long wall, and the couch needs to face that direction. On the short walls the TV would cover the built in book shelves if placed there. Other than that no problem. Your arrangement that way probably sounds quite good I'd imagine in a similar sized room. It's unfortunately just not possible here without some drastic remodeling.
