RE: Middle space between the speakers
Posted by Satie on January 10, 2017 at 10:04:33:
Agree on the bass traps and diffusion. Unfortunately for me the corners are occupied by other items that can't be moved (small closet and the dedicated AC).
As to the normal rack placement behind the speakers - it creates early backwave reflections from the face plates of the equipment that are really difficult to get rid of. People do this in order to cut down on the length of speaker or line level interconnect. I usually suggest people use a fake ficus or equivalent to diffuse the backwave before it hits the racks. For some people it is possible to get the dipole null aimed at the racks. Others have used their TV slightly ahead of the speakers to block the center reflections. The adjustment should result in pulling the center image forwards to where it aligns with the rest of the soundstage.
