Speaker placement.

Sorry for not being more clear.

I'm intimately familiar with placement. Like 

you, I got trained with speakers focused just

behind my head.

I'm just curious, if you don't have a square room

Would you prefer to seat closer to the speakers

(Near field) but spaced out further by ring on the

Longer wall or prefer seating further away with perhaps 

"Slightly limited" sound stage. Just curious.

Ring should read " being"

Hi  @jawfx01 

It would be great to see your system. This would help in making recommendations. There is a place to put photos.. and identify your components. There are so many variables, and many depending on your speakers and components. It would really help.

Each room depends on speakers, walls, and electronics.

thx

I’m in a 13.5x19.5 rectangular room. I prefer my speakers on the short wall 9ft apart and listening about 10 ft back. Speakers are 6ft from the wall behind them. Listening chair is about 4 ft from the wall behind it. Speakers toed in slightly. I much prefer the sense of depth and a ’hall’ type resonance I get from that set up. Positioned in an equilateral triangle on the long wall gives me a more sterile sound and reduced bass energy. 

If I had to deal with your room I would start with the speakers on the short wall 3 to 4 ft out into the room and about 6 ft apart with my listening chair about 3 ft into the room and go from there. Obviously actual set up is highly dependent on your room configuration including windows and doors and the sound will depend on your rooms natural acoustics as well as the effect on furniture, etc. 

FWIW most folks I know who have their system in normal sized homes prefer the short wall.
