Room Acoustics and Speaker Placement

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! 

OP,

Thanks. Speaking of pictures worth a thousand words... really worth it. 

Well, that is challenging. Where are you going to sit? That will be a challenge. Where you have put the speakers is the obvious placement. You can do a corner bass trap and acoustic panels behind the speakers. Moving the rack over next to the TV would help. This would probably sound really good. Can you find a way to put a listening chair that make a triangle with the speakers?

Are those mirrors on th ceiling? Those are probably acoustically bad. 

@ghdprentice thank you so much for the prompt response. 

the 2 wall art hanging behind the speakers are acoustic panels. Are you recommending adding more? 
 

the glass above the speaker is a little window of sorts because the living room doesn’t get any direct sun light.  Not ideal for music but I don’t have much of a choice.

when you say move the rack next to the TV, any reasons for it? Also, would it help if I moved it to the side instead of between the speakers? The reason I’m asking is that I have an 18 month old toddler at home. And hence the cage in front of the system. 
 

I may be able to get away with a bass trap so long as it’s shorter than the speaker height. Will be sort of hidden in the corner next the right speaker. I don’t feel the bass is boomy, what exactly will a bass trap do? 

Also. I sit on the lengthy part of the couch for now. Plan is to move it to the other side and put another chair right in front of the speaker creating that L shaped sofa. If that makes sense? Let’s just say the sitting position will likely be where the long leg of the couch is at the moment. Once I get the chair, I should be able to move it forward or backward while listening to crest that triangle
