RE: Shifting instruments and room layout

Couple of thoughts before I go to kip.

I used to have tweeters in. IIRC, the sound stage was much more defined, but at a loss of depth. I might switch back that way. I will for a bit, at least so I can remember why I liked tweeters out better.

The room actually feels quite cramped with the big ol' Magneplanars there, so you aren't wrong on that bit. I feel with a couple of extra feet I'd be able to widen up the speakers a bit for a more expansive stage and still improve image resolution. In order to bring them out far enough from the wall, I had to tighten them up together a lot. Before I had them about 2 feet from the back wall.

I doubt the panels I built are causing many issues, but it is a possibility. I realize there is a lot of absorption behind the maggies, but none on the sides. I built the big ones to set in the corners as bass traps. I wonder if I built two more smaller ones for the sides walls, and set the "bass traps" on their sides, angled along the wall for trapping bass.
