Thanks, guys. I am just looking for a starting point so I don't have to chase my tail for a few hours.
Cardas'formula doesn't take into account a sloped ceiling, so, it's not clear what ceiling height to plug into the equation. But, melding everyone's input together suggests a distance of about 5 1/2 feet from the back wall and about 5 feet from the side should work as a starting point. (Although, perhaps the speaker's distance from the back wall should not approximate the distance from the side walls????)
Rivas, your formula wasn't on your web page so I don't know how it would campare to the other suggestions, but I will be incorporating your idea of diffusion. The only questions I have for you on that is: 1) Is it preferable to have the diffusion material directly behind the speaker and 2) what size range should the material be? (is 6'H x 3'W adequate?)
Again, thanks to all.
Jim
