That is a huge room. Do have your speaks in the symetrical end with perpendicular walls. Make your triangle smaller and within 5' of the wall behind your speaks. Try sitting at or someplace within 2' of the apex of your new triangle with bout a half way toe-in. And clear out anything between you and the plane of your speakers. The sweet spot position will add gain from the front end of your room and flesh out your midrange with better bass. Your soundscape may become more cohesive and natural, too. If that doesn't happen, keep adjusting your listening position or the size of your triangle.Oh, fooey, just realized that I was confusing Dave's room with the original inquiry. Nevertheless, it is sound principle and will reward.

Thanks for the suggestions (some of which I've adopted in the past), but I think I've got a pretty good fix on the room and where the speakers work best, at least according to a lot of people who have listened to them here. Me too.
Behind the listening sofa, which accommodates six and is about half-way back in the 40' length, there is an alcove off to the left that is another 30' deep and averages 15' wide. I violate one of the basic premises by having a 250 lb. low coffee table between me and the slightly toed speakers. It's not going anywhere. The entire space is carpeted and there's a lot of art on the walls, plus a 6 x 9' equipment rack behind the speakers. "Formal" room treatments are confined to a few Room Tunes. The system sounds its absolute best with no more then three people present. More than that and they become human "Tube Traps" soaking up the natural ambiance.
And yes, the SET amps put out just 12 wpc and I have never wished for more power.
Hi, Dave. My reply was intended for Nick but having just read his second post I see that he has tried other rooms and speakers. Oh, well, glad everything is good with you.
Forgot to mention this earlier, Jim. There's something screwy going on with your home page, at least via Safari.
Oh wow, dunno, Dave. Comes up typing its name in my yahoo browser. What do you know that I don't? Tell me more. Thanks. Jim
