Speaker placement in strangely shaped "room"?


Hi, I'm planning on placing my speakers on 2.5-3 feet speaker stands in a "room" that's shown in the following diagram.

The dotted line means that the wall stops about 3.5 feet off the floor. Right now, I'm wavering between Option 1, which is to place one speaker in Corner A and the other in Junction B, or Option 2, which is to place one speaker in Junction B, and the other in Junction C. If I were to go with Option 2 (which would fit best with the space I have), one of the speakers would be placed near a wall, while the other would be in mid-air. Would that be detrimental to the sound produced?

Thank you so much. In case it's relevant, the speakers are Wharfedale evo2-8's.

There's really no way around it; you're just going have to experiment with placement. I wouldn't assume that you are going to get bad sound. Sometimes with an odd room, you can get lucky and have no problems.

If you run into some problems, here's something you can try that's not too expensive. Most room tuning treatments are made out of fibreglass. You can make some very good ones yourself. All you need are pre-made fibreglass panels (not the big rolls, but the kind that look like pictures that can be hung on the wall.) Wrap them in a fabric that matches the colors in your room, and that's it. Just put them where you need them. For your room, you may want to mount them on some type of stands and simulate a wall on the left side of the left speaker. Hopefully, that will give the speakers some balance and help with imaging.
