room setup


I have read several articles including Cardas and the audio perfectionist about room/speaker setup. After many hours of trial an error I have come up with an optimum placement of the speakers.

Practicality dictates that my TV be setup between my speakers about 2 feet behind the front of the speakers. As we all know practicality simply goes out the window with our affliction. It seems to me that not only threoretically but in reality the TV becomes a reflective surface producing negetive imaging, etc. I will probably start experimenting, but its really not easy to move the 32 inch TV and the cabinet that it sits on. Any one want to weigh in on this?

After I painted my old apartment, the first thing I set up was the stereo. Moved in the couch, rug, set up the speakers and let it warm up. The imaging was beyond belief. Not only did images actually jump out at you, but they materialized ubove & below the speakers. Living conditions dictates that you cannot have a seperate room for a stereo, and another for video, but this would be ideal conditions.
Everybody has this problem in a normal livivg situation. The only recorse is to move the speakers as far out as possible. Now I don't mean the speakers should be in front of your face, this will depend on the size of the room. People say drape a blanket in front of your TV, but then your friends start to look at you funny. just learn to live with it unless you can afford a dwelling with a seperate TV room.
