Number two is the better of the setups. You might get some unwanted ambient sound from the dining room in setup 2 but that's better than having the speakers in, effectively, two different acoustic environments as in option one.
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!

@hilde45 If you look at the OP's pictures from a previous post, it will make more sense. @OP - the numbers you quote look accurate and confirm what your pictures show, namely, that if you leave a reasonable distance from the right hand side wall and, allowing for the door, you have very little distance between the speakers.
