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!

According to JBL engineer Greg Timbers, 14’’ off the floor is good. His home speaker woofer designs are around 12’’ to 14’’ off the floor. See JBL Everest one, two and the 250TI, the L250, and L300, see here. Flush mounting the speakers in the wall and about 3’ off the floor is best, maybe not always practical see here. I would say raising the speakers about 3’ off the floor takes the floor out of the equation, now its just the four walls and ceiling to deal with. For what its worth. I started with with 4’’ from the floor to the bottom of the woofer frame I’m content with 14.5’’. For your information, my speakers were designed for studio control rooms for mixing and mastering so if there a little above ear level it will not matter as the sound remains the same see here. With all the talk about bass and subwoofers, I like the way my speakers pressurize every square inch of the room, its a visceral feeling as well as eargasmic just like a live event. 😎 Mike |
A square room is the worst possible ratio. It leads to more standing waves than other rectangular options. There is an ideal ratio. Of length, width & height. Not sure what would happened if you setup the center in a corner. This may be interesting. I do not think a separation of over 10 feet can help. 8-10 for me is ideal. You need mid-bass coupling. You have great gear. I’m sure it sounds amazing. |
