@jgjg123 Good post - many of use have a dual use room. I tend to agree with @asctim a bit - you don't have to focus on a single location too much. In a music club or concert it is rare to be in a perfect spot. You can still enjoy the music by sitting off center and simply hearing the sound as if you are at a live performance and seated off to the side. In addition, I believe you can adjust your speaker position to relocate your sweet spot to some degree. Your R & L speaker do not have to be the same distance from the back wall and the side walls. My room is not symmetric so my speakers are not mirrored either.
Listening Room
Hello to all,
I think this is a situation many audiophiles find themselves in: That being your listening room is NOT a dedicated room that your expensive audio system resides in. You do NOT have a chair that is perfectly positioned in between speakers to optimize your listening enjoyment. Why? The room simply cannot accommodate a chair in the center or, most likely, your wife and/or significant other will not allow you to place a chair where it's supposed to be when listening.
Having said that, you listen to music from everywhere in the room. How does one go about speaker placement? How do you increase the sound stage? Are some speaker brands better than others when you do not have a dedicated listening room? Thanks for your input.
