@ozzy62 & @immatthewj Thanks guys!
With option 2, the side wall on the left will be farther away as compared to the side wall on the right. Is there anything I can do to minimize the skew? Would toeing in help?
Room Acoustics and Speaker Placement
Hey guys,
I’m moving to a new condo next month. It’s going to be a living room setup and I have two options:
1) speakers will be positioned such that it will only have 1 side wall. The other side will be open (dining area).
2) speakers will have both side walls (not equidistant) but no rear wall (my back will be towards the dining area).
I know that neither setup is ideal but if you were to pick one, which one would it be and why?
let me know if you need more info. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

hey guys, thank you so much for all the comments and suggestions. Definitely leaning towards option 2.
hilde45 @jawfxr01 Here are some photos. they’re not perfect but hopefully gives you a idea. I have tried adding notes so you can understand the layout. The wall to the left side of the speaker is where the TV would go. The wall to the right of the speaker is basically the entrance to the Apartment. |
@yoyoyaya actually the photos are a bit deceptive. The width isn’t as bad as it appears. The width of the wall where I’m planning to place the speakers should be at least 10 feet if not more. and to your idea about moving the speakers to the dining area, I did consider but my boss (Mrs) doesn’t want dining table to be the first thing people see when they enter.. it’s an argument I know I can’t win.. lol |
@hilde45 the wall itself must be around 12 feet. So I could position the speakers potentially 3 feet away from the right side wall leaving about 6 feet between the speakers. And for what’s it worth, the distance from the left side wall (basically entrance of the apartment) should be about 7-8 feet. So more distance to the left side wall as compared to the right side. Hope this helps! |
