Dedicated room suggestions


Hi all. I have an unfinished room that is 13x16.10. 
My system is a Cary Audio Tube amp, DMS650 streamer and DAC. And my very large Klipsch Cornwall IV speakers. 
I’m new to the game and looking for suggestions regarding layout and room treatments. Wondering if the speakers should go on the 13’ wall or the other way around. And any acoustic panels that can enhance sound, how many and where should they go?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have Crites speakers which are about the same dimensions and efficiency  I have been tweeking my system for 3 years.  Slowly and surely I have improved the sound.  My room is 12 × 21.  That is about the minimum width.  Here are some suggestion:

1.  Keep dimensions from sidewall and back wall different.  I  found the center of the speaker to measure during setup.  They are toed in to intersect behind my head. I would not put them against the back wall.  

2.  Room treatments.  Most important are the sidewalls.  I have 2 bass traps but am told a couple more would help.There are several good companies.  

3.  Speaker isolation.  I  bought springs on Amazon.  A very nice improvment.  You can spend much more.

4.  Lower noise floor on streaming system.

5.  It is best to keep equipment behind speakers or somewhere else.
