Speakers in Corners Help

Posted by Kody (A) on September 29, 2016 at 09:23:44

Hi all,

So I received my X14As and have them installed in my study. Unfortunately, as my 12'x 12' study is also my wife's study, and the room where we watch movies, I am very limited as to my ability to position the furniture and speakers to achieve good acoustics. I installed corner shelves on the front wall and placed the speakers on them, which I now know is a big no no.

However, I have resigned myself to the fact that I'm not going to achieve perfect acoustics in this room. Due to the room's layout and furniture, I can't have my equilateral triangle listening position, and my listening chair must be butted up against the back wall.

I do, however, want to do the best I can. Beginning with my speakers on the shelves in the corners, will placing the foam below (Auralax LENRD Bass Traps, 12-Inch by 12-Inch by 24-Inch) behind them help with boomy bass issues inherent to corner placement?
