Amused To Death and Avalon Opus

I have been using Roger Waters "Amused To Death" CD to place my Avalon Opus loudspeakers. During my audition of the Opus, track 1 of this CD was played. I was startled when I heard the "barking dog" sound like it was in the next room on my right. After the audition, I came home and played the same track on my previous loudspeakers. Same effect. The dog sounds as if it is in my neighbors house next door on my right.

With the Opus, the dog does NOT come from the right, but behind me. I have moved the speakers, and my ASC room treatments, around to get what I believe is the correct placement of the barking dog. I can get some of this effect, but not 100%.

Any ideas?

Thanks

My room is 11.5 x 17.5 x 8 feet. Rectangular. Entrance to the right which opens up to a two story foyer. Speaker position is relative to the tweater: 30.5 inches from the side wall and 60 inches from the front wall. Nothing on the walls other than ASC sound panels on the side first and second reflection (left wall only) points.

Thanks,
Rich

cfb and Albert: I agree with both of you. I should have stated that I am using many CD's and LP's to place my speakers. Not just the "barking dog" CD. My apologies.

Dialing in a pair of loudspekers is not easy. Not for me at least. There are not enough equations that can be written down to solve for the many variables.
