A Very Narrow Listening Room

If I had your room, I'd consider trying to find a pair of Dunlavy's - they recommended placement along the long wall, speakers wide apart and toed in significantly. They're not in production any more, but you can find used models and they were very well regarded.

Again, thanks to everyone for their help. I have many things to think about. Hopefully I won't go into "audio paralysis".

Would it be of help (or interest to anyone) to give regular updates as my project progresses (it should begin late next week), especially if I can find a way to add pictures? I'm a bit new at this.

I AM planning on running dedicated power to my room, use better grade outlets and will be treating the room (Echobusters possibly) as things progress.

Again, thanks to all who've helped and looked at the thread. If anyone needs a great discount on new vinyl, go to VinylMatters.com and mention this Audiogon thread and I'll hook you up.

Regular updates please. It can be helpful for others in setting up their equipment under similar circumstances. Also, it gives the advise givers some feed back on what does, or doesn't work, under your circumstances. Good luck.........

I think the vr4 jrs wouldn't be an ideal match. They need a lot of room to show everything they can do. Space from rear, sidewalls, eachother, and from listening position. I have them 8' apart and do not think the sound integrated until 10' away. From other posts it seems a first order speaker is recommende for closer listening. You have good components. Get into the room and see what they can do. I do like the idea of using the electrostats if you like that sound.

I'm very close to my speakers, maybe 6-7ft away. Have no choice though. Zar
