Room Acoustics and Speaker interaction.

Why not mark a spot out from the wall with tape. When you decide to do serious listening move them out towards the marked floor?

Hi Schipo,

I understand what you are saying......but, here is my wife's answer to your suggestion:

"My husband already has a dedicated listening room which houses his "reference" system in. He is free to do as he likes in "that" room and is welcome to do his "serious listening" in there anytime he would like. As to "my" den, he is welcome to have a nice set of speakers in here as long as they fit into my decor and are unobtrusive.....which means they will NOT be pulled out into the room. This room is small enough as it is....I do not want to be tripping over his speakers besides."

So there you have it. I have a few obstacles I am dealing with......a very small room, one that is square no less, and my wife.......(just kidding, honey!)

No_regrets, why would you want to put speakers in her room? Would you like if she was putting things she likes (e.g. shoes) in your dedicated room? :)

Good point Nvp. We spend a lot of quality time together in this small den, and we both truly enjoy listening to music together. We both would like to be able to do this together in this small den. However, she does not want this to look like a stereo room, due to the fact that she has already allowed me to have a dedicated listening room for my reference system elsewhere in the house.

You can can make room look like kings bed around usind some linen curtains around room ,it would help avoid booming bass :)
