RE: Rob's room 3

I'll go with Ethan on the openings at the back, also on symmetry which is basic to any good setup. You can work with an asymmetrical room and get good results, something I've been forced to do in my room, but it does make things harder.

If you're lucky and those openings are in the centre of the wall you may even find that they eliminate the first reflections from that wall because the first reflection points fall where the wall would be if there wasn't the openings. The additional spaces also create some longer dimensions for some additional, lower frequency room modes which is actually a plus since it helps the room response to smooth out at a lower frequency. The downside is that it takes more power to load the larger space but your speakers are sensitive and that's also a plus in your situation.
