Perfect Speaker Placement - Put next to the back wall as much as possible.


Hello,

I happen to find an good article about the ideal speaker placement. 
(Easiest version without numbers & formulas that I can’t honestly understand :D)

I’d like to share. 

Personally I find two things interesting.

1) Only use 40% of the room area (38% rule)

2) Put the speaker as close as possible to the back-wall (next to bass trap)

Of course, minor adjustment would be required depending on speakers.
Still, I think this is helpful to figure out the very first step.

In a perfect world your room dimensions would be 14.5 X 23.5 X 9'. That gets you the Golden Ratio in all 3 dimensions, and a good starting point. Unless you use the Bolt method, in which case it's off the chart. Go figure. Literally. You still need to calculate and deal with the eigenmodes in those 3 dimensions plus axial, tangential, and oblique. Like this:
