What’s the benefit of placing speakers like this? (diagonally at the corner)


Hello,

I am curious about the speaker placement.
(I try to upload a picture.... not working well...)

Here’s the link to Positive-feedback website containing the photo of speakers.

Let’s say this is the corner of the square shape room.

| [amp]

| (Empty) (Empty) [Sp2]

| [Sp 1]

(Facing toward the other side of corner)

Amp is placed at the corner of the room. (Diagonally)

Then Speaker 1 (Sp1) and Speaker 2 (Sp2) are placed diagonally too.

Amp and speakers face toward the other corner of the room.


I think this this is V.Rossi’s Audio show room picture from 2019 with QLN prestige 3 speakers.

What is the benefit of this kind of placement?

Duke,
Your recommendation seems to make sense with my experience.  I've found my speakers can sound a bit better when off-set a bit, so one being a bit closer to the listening sofa, and my slightly adjusting toward the further one, where I sit to maintain equal distance from the speakers.
My brain won’t allow for this kind of room asymmetry, I’d lose it. I’ll have to suffer with room treatments slightly less perfect sound.
