Placing Speakers With Book Shelves


I've placed this question under the Speaker section, but it may be more appropriate here. The side walls of my listening room are lined with open back book shelves filled with books. When measuring speaker placement from the side "walls", do I measure from the walls behind the books or from the front of the shelves? I ask because the shelves on one side of the room are two inches wider than the other side.

Hi Joey, The books are an excellent method of diffusing the sound. If the book cases make up most of the wall behind or beside the speakers then your measurement would be from the books themselves.
