I have just moved and the new living room is...

...troublesome. Longer wall got longer, but shorter wall got shorter than the previous one. In the previous apt., I was placing the speakers on the longer wall. Speaker separation was about 8ft, distance to listening position was about 7ft. If I try the same arrangement (which I am temporarilly doing), distance to the listening position is like 5 to 6 ft. OK, I could place the speakers on the shorter wall (window), in which case, the speaker separation would be more like 6 ft, but the distance can be more like 10 ft or much more. Well, the more troubling fact would be that there would be almost NO WALL behind me because there will be "loft kitchen" bihind me on one half side, and, on another half side, long corridor to the master bedroom door which is like 30 ft away. It's a "long" apartment, and I hope you can get the picture.

A Question to experienced audiophiles is; which would you choose? Any cure for either placement? Of course, I am going to try myself, but I just want to get your opinions.

FYI: I did this move only for my wife, who had wanted washer/dryer in the apartment for the past 7 years during which we lived in the previous apartment. Life is full of "trade-off", right?
