Nightmare

I am sleep deprived!

Will be moving in to a newly bought house mid next year and I will not be "allowed" to keep the Hifi in the Living room anymore. Living room is so awkwardly shaped, it is not hifi-worthy anyway.

However, I will have a room of 8'X16' dedicated for Music. Now I am seriously worried about the width being only 8'. I currently use ML Aerius i's and they are kept well away from the side walls (2 feet away) and at least 6 feet apart from each other. Will I have any chance at all, getting the placement right in such a narrow room?

Alternatively, I am considering parting with (sadly though) my electrostatics and exploring the Nirvana in Horn/SET camp, since I have heard that horns can be safely placed right next to the side walls. Did listen to Lowther DX-4s driven by an Atma S-30. Sounded pretty good, but something was missing.

Please SMS (Save my Soul) !!!

Thanks,
amal

You might want to try setting up the speakers on the diagonal as discussed in this paper:

It worked wonders for me in my "Borg-ish" room (10'x11'x9'4" - approximately)...

My adventures are noted in AA... you can check here for a start:
