Well now you've gone and thrown a wrench in it...

I had pretty well settled on a set-up that used the quarter/3 quarters points and have the speaker no more than 8' apart. Even though this would not give me the 72 degrees or even the 90 degrees that Greene recommended, it was going to minimize side wall reflections. I can move the speakers further apart as I do have some 4' x 2' x 2" fiberglass panels to use for the side wall reflections, so maybe I should experiment both ways and see what happens. I'm somewhat of a set it and forget it kind of guy so tis would be a little out of character for me.

At 8' apart the speaker/listening position distances would be close to an equilateral triangle, which I'm not striving for, but it just turns out that way. One thing about the wider placement of the speakers at the focal points and beyond is that the distance between the tweeters will exceed the distance from tweeter to listening position. I've never had placement like this before. I'm wondering how this will affect the sound. I guess there is only one way to find out.
