@dcpillai : I am certainly nowhere near an expert in subs or their placement. That being said, I have always found sound systems incorporating them, especially in a two-channel system, sound best when they are placed exactly between the left and right channnel speakers but not forward of those speakers. A little behind them is OK, as long as the sub remains in the center between them and there are no obstructions in front of the sub. Kind of like why the drummer(s) in a band are usually always center stage and behind the other musicians, I guess. This would certainly complicate things in your room placement. You'd have to move your rack & components.
Placement of subwoofers
Hi All. I would appreciate your views as to the placement of subwoofers in my system. I attach 2 pictures of my room for your reference below:-

Based on the reading that I have done, I understand that the subwoofers should be placed alongside / parallel to the main speakers, and not behind them. If this is so, should the subwoofers be on the inside or outside of the main speakers? Right now they are positioned on the outside of my main speakers, but they are behind them by 1 to 2 feet. I feel that this is a system weakness and have been contemplating relocating my subwoofers as a result.
Also, my subwoofers are placed very close to other bulky furniture, which leads me to wonder as to the effect on the sound emanating from the subwoofers. Will this effect or otherwise block the sound from my subwoofers?
FYI due to the WAF, I unfortunately have limited choices in the placement of my subwoofers.
Any input would be welcome.
Thanks!
