I would recommend firing them from short to tall wall. The reason for this is 2 fold. One you will get a slight gain from going from a smaller area (volume), to a larger one. You effectively decreasing pressure through the room and will have the highest pressure behind the speakers. An added benefit to this is that by creating known pressure areas like this it is easy to acoustically treat them. The other reason I would fire to the high side, is that if you were firing to the low side you would get a reflection point off the ceiling behind you. It would be a long reflection time and would make the speakers less clear. You could treat the ceiling to get rid of the problem, but the easier solution is to just not work against nature and fire from short to long wall. Hope that helps.
speaker placement in a tough room, please help.
Really could do with a bit of help here. My new room is going to be 10' wide by 11' long with a vault ceiling that starts at 8' and peaks at 15'.The vault is sloping up from the short wall. I'm guessing that I am putting my speakers (Hales sig 2's) on the short wall firing down the long wall. But do I put them firing down towards the high point of the vault or the opposite? Really prefer not to change speakers if possible.
Any suggestions/thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
