Small, Effective Subwoofers?

" your room isn’t useable for serious listening"

if you pull the curtains, move the sofa by the kitchen back 4 feet (temporarily, when you are "in session") you'd be fine. I'd move both speakers to the right, towards the kitchen 10" or so, until the door, and also out from the wall towards the room at least 10". 

You would be slightly better off on the opposite end of the room, where the dining room is, but that would be challenging with all the furniture.

@grislybutter - Thanks, I like your optimistic approach and yes I can definitely move things around, but a couple of things.

I have racked both my back and my shoulder. No problem kicking the loveseat out of the way for listening and closing the drapes (actually, the drapes were hung with listening in mind) but the speakers are another thing, they are heavy.

The manufacture's rubber feet make the difficult to move around as well. If just sideways 10" as you suggest, I could get those slider things, but if I need to move them out from the back wall the carpet is in the way. WAIT! I could just roll the carpet back, I guess (don't tell the wife).

Maybe it would be easier just to move?

@navyachts the wife's happiness, feng shui and sound quality are competing concepts, or zero sum game  :)

With that lovely view, I wouldn't be in a hurry to move.

@grislybutter - LOL, thx

Looking at your room I now understand your dilemma. It's so open it's difficult to tuck the subs out of sight.It's a beautiful room.The corner in the dining room and to the left behind the console in a white finish? But if those aren't the optimal spots for good bass that would be sad.
