Room Acoustics and Speaker Placement
Hey guys,
I’m moving to a new condo next month. It’s going to be a living room setup and I have two options:
1) speakers will be positioned such that it will only have 1 side wall. The other side will be open (dining area).
2) speakers will have both side walls (not equidistant) but no rear wall (my back will be towards the dining area).
I know that neither setup is ideal but if you were to pick one, which one would it be and why?
let me know if you need more info. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

@hilde45 If you look at the OP's pictures from a previous post, it will make more sense. @OP - the numbers you quote look accurate and confirm what your pictures show, namely, that if you leave a reasonable distance from the right hand side wall and, allowing for the door, you have very little distance between the speakers.

Hey guys, Apologies for the radio silence. I got extremely busy with shifting and other stuff. Anyway, we successfully moved and while we’re still settling down, I got my setup in place. Hope these photos give you a better sense of the room and its dimensions. As you can tell, the side wall from the left speaker is farther compared to that of the right speaker. I have installed the acoustic panels I had at my previous place the best way I could in this new room. They’re 2inch impression series panels from GIK. The second photo is frome the speaker end, you can see the back wall is quite far back, and the left side (from listening side) ends up into a kicthen area while the right side wall extends all the way to the back wall. One thing I’d say is that, even with these less than ideal room structure, the system sounds 5 times better than it did in my old apartment which had crazy high ceilings. Anyway, any recommendations or suggestions that can improve the sound without getting me kicked out of the house? Thank you so much! |
