Speaker placement

Another good trick I learned was go to Axpona in person if you can or use web site to look at how the rooms are set up. You will see more of them using what I call the corner unequal triangle set up. There is an article out there on this but I can recall where it is. This is used to increase sound stage a depth when you have a difficult room configuration or listening position. In general the system is in the corner apex and one speaker is placed in a forward position and the other is further back. Sorry I don’t have more detail as I read in a very passive way knowing I did not have to do it in my room.

I do plan on going to RMAF here in Denver and am going to try to hit Axpona in Chicago. I hope to see some agon members there! 

+1 on MillerCarbons advice. The only way I would differ is that I was able to accomplish quite a lot with treatments after experimenting with placement and doing some measurements with REW software (free). At this point, expensive podiums might help but not nearly as much (in my room) as treatments. Some of the treatments were easy to make myself.

Thanks for the tip. I think I probably made the mistake of putting up treatment before trying speaker placement as there was a lot of reverb. I went off vicoustics recommendation of mostly higher frequency absorption and a small amount of low end absorption. They said with my room it would be hard to know where the bass modes were for panel placement. I’m thinking I can still get better sound playing with speaker position. 

What does Bob charge?

Maybe BOB can teach the OP.

Some folks learn BETTER with a hands on approach. I do.

Show me, then I know. 

Now ALL the stuff you should be reading will make sense because BOB will be nice enough to explain it and show you a few tricks to fine tune the system to your taste..

If Bob has a reasonable fee and YOU have the money to spend AND want to learn Bobs way... Why Not.. Then share if BOB is a good teacher, or LOL, Robbed your silly a$$ for hiring BOB fresh out of Local State Pin. He learned a trade INSIDE..:-)

Enjoy in any case.. Lot of help right here IF you really want to do it.. Your call..
