You can also play with the distance of your seating to the speakers. Near or nearer field can minimize the sidewall difference. This might apply if you're in scenario #1 or #2.
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!
