room setup suggesion needed
Hi everyone,
The question is for gurus of room setup.
Question is if anyone can suggest improvement of the situation where there is not much room for adjustment.
So there you go:
1) Room conditions
room size 30ft x 30ft
audio wall with the location near centerline
rehearsing distance from the wall 9ft
sound focal point with speakers directed 8ft sound cross path directly at rehearsal point ( not much room to adjust focal point could be pushed back max 3ft, not too happy about that idea)
speakers spread at 10ft center to center ( could be spread possibly to max 12ft with given wires)
speaker face 2ft off the wall less than 1ft space behind ( could be moved forward and tilted)
wall treatments floor dampening as well, floor standing speakers on spikes.
2) SYSTEM SPEC
speakers JBL 4367
speaker wires FURTECH Douglas 7ft be-wire Rhodium spades
Amp Pass Labs X250.8
Pre amp Pass Labs XP-12
Phono Pass Labs XP-15
Turntable VPI Classic 1 JMW 10.5 Hana ML
Server Mac mini
DAC Schiid Modius balanced out
inter connector cable Canari XLR
system fully balanced
power cables FURTEH
Honestly system sounds really good, but better is enemy of good so is there anything I can do better or is there anything that I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks for opinions!
@elliottbnewcombjr I had a very interesting phenomenon, I placed 2 floorstanding speakers next to my standmounts, about 5 inches on the outside. The sound of the standmounts has completely transformed, it helped the speakers disappear and made the different elements feel more focused, "sourced".

grislybutterInteresting, that's far more than subtle acoustic change resulting from a relatively small physical change |
All speakers are different, all rooms and furnishings are different, as are components driving the speakers. What you get is a nearly infinite variability. Hence there are some standard starting positions for each of the position variables. The listening triangles cannot be too large or the stereo effect begins to disappear, bass reinforcement from distance from back and side walls, and how direct the tweeters point at your ears effects the soundstage profoundly as tweeters are very directional with sound dropping off, off axis. Slow methodical experimentation required. |
@ghdprentice and I would add the bigger the space, the harder to get it right? Not sure since I have no experience with bigger spaces. |
I guess it depends. But if you start with a recommended configuration, I would say a small spaces are much harder. You have wall reflections on all sides (including behind the listeners head) to worry about… bass reinforcement you may not be able to fix, except by tube traps, lack of abolition to get enough space behind the speakers… etc. |
