In my opinion,from my experience, if you’re going to have a rack in the center, pull the speakers well out in front of the rack. I have a much smaller room,with rack in the center. I have achieved a wonderful soundstage. Can it be better? I think there is always room for improvement.
If your wife has an issue with leaving the speakers out,move them back when not doing any critical listening. Enjoy the journey.
Looking for wider soundstage
My system consists of:
parasound a21+ amp for LF
rogue st 100 dark for HF
Aurender n10
schiit Yggy dac
don sachs 2 preamp
legacy signature se speakers
Looking for wider soundstage room is not treated but it’s not bad and I have moved speakers around Thanks for any advice I have believed my amps could be better but not sure thanks in advance

designsfx I have thought about that. The logistics of the room as it’s setup for tv viewing would make that move difficult. I would really like to try that though. I could switch sides with the listening spot and the electronic/speakers. That would put a curtain behind the rack and speakers. Would that be better than current setup? |
I believe it would help as it will change the relationship between your speakers and the room boundaries. It's easy enough to test without moving everything by temping in longer speaker wire and just moving the speakers. If it seems to improve then you can plan a more detailed placement. If you'd like to try it I can pm you starting placement dimensions. |
Build the Linkwitz LX521 system and you'll have your "forever loudspeaker." If you can't do the woodworking, then go to a local cabinet maker to have them make it up for you. It's a simple kit. The driver kit, pla ns, and necessary active crossover are about $3000. |
