| Floorstanding speaker advice needed for long room I recommend 4 of these, two behind the MLP at the same distance that you are from the plane of the two front speakers and then one each at the first reflection points on the side walls. You can experiment with the reflective side on the side walls... | |

| Floorstanding speaker advice needed for long room I use portable panels at the back of my room to treat an open door way, would recommend tring them as you can move them around as needed. IMO the panels are more important for a room than what speaker you pick: | |
