New speaker placement

No one can tell you where to place you speakers by looking at a picture or drawing of your room. It's a waste of time and effort.

Seriously consider a Sumiko speaker set. See this thread for more insight:

Thanks Guys
Some great ideas !

i would be willing to place absorbtion panels behind the television if that helps things.

Newbee thanks for all your suggestions it's very much appreciated

The treatment ideas in your room diagram look like a good idea. The yellow squares behind the speakers look good as well as the bass traps. As for side wall reflections, it seems as if the walls are far enough away that little would be required but it's fun to experiment.
One thing I can say from my experience is that room treatments do make a difference. The room my system is in now had bare walls when I first put the system in. If you clapped your hand you could hear an echo. As I tried putting panels in different places things changed for the better. I also found out you can go too far by putting up to much absorption.

Thanks Tim

The room will be treated with GIK Acoustics

In the sketch

The rest of the treatments displayed in the picture have been removed (Grey areas and Green)
