In Reply to: Question re: long or short wall setup of speakers posted by terrapin on March 14, 2007 at 08:09:26:
and you may get 12 different opinions.For what it's worth, I'm a long-wall guy. This placement in a large room such as yours helps to reduce the influence of side-wall reflections, which IMO really screw up the sound.
You can damp and nearly eliminate those reflections with appropriate absorbers, but generally not in a wife-approved living room.
You might try asymmetrical long-wall placement--meaning that each speaker is a different distance from it's nearest side wall. This can spread the resonances around a little more.
Meanwhile, lots of folks think otherwise, though I see pics of a lot of setups with the speakers VERY near the side walls. Unless the speakers are quite directional I think this ought to be avoided if possible. YMMV!
