My experience with having the system on the long wall (with absorbers behind the speakers) is that it sounds very good and bass doesn´t get overblown, maybe because Im pretty far from all 4 corners where most of the bass energy is. BUT.. as soon as you raise the volume it doesn´t work anymore, It gets shouty and the room feels much too small. I´d go with the short wall placement
Should I or not
This all started when my brother came down for a visit. As it stands now my system is against the short wall. He believes that if I move it to the long wall I can take my system/sound to the "next level".
My current speakers are Paradigm Studio 60. My room size is 11ft wide with 20ft in length. If I do change my setup how far apart should my speakers be if my maximum sitting distance is 10ft.
If I do move my speakers they will have to be closer to back wall which is half window but are curtained. I was planning on purchasing some room treatments(sound absorbers) with my speakers in their current set-up. Will my curtains be suffucient.
Basically I'd like to know if I place my speakers against the long wall will they image better.
I look foward to what members here think I should do.
Cheers
