Re: Speaker Placement help

I used to live in a loft, though with 40 foot ceilings! I think you're biggest problem is going to be a boomy bass. You're never going to get enough furniture in the room to tame echoes etc. I would invest in acoustic treatment from Echo buster or AC (I have echo buster panels I like them a lot) and then definitely pull the front two speakers out from next to the television. Honestly you will never get great stereo sound with the setup as is. If you had a plasma maybe you can get it out of the way but even then the reflections in the middle of your soundstage are going to be off. I spoke to a guy at ASC who suggested placing panels on the side of the television set so that some damping is occurring. HE went on to suggest that I encase my television in a frame of acoustic treatment panels. I suppose I could have done that but I think it may look odd. Try to picture two large tubular columns at either side of your television. I decided to separate my two systems, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. CARA is good, and I do use it but I can tell you what the program will say. Not enough furniture add rugs etc, none of it is going to change the basic problem though. Hope that helps!
