Room and Placement for Revel Studios

Hello All
I have been trying to determine room placement for my speakers. My room is 22L x 20W with iregularities.

Namely, what I call the "horn shaped" end of the room is 18W x 8L feet. It has two skylites and vaults down from 8ft celing to 5ft. The remainder of the room is 14x20.

The feature I struggle with is the end of the room which has two skylites and vaults down from 8ft to 5ft. In short it is a horn like shape. At which end of the room should I place my speakers to achive the best sound?

I realize that I should try various placement and I will. However, is there any advantage in placing the speakers in the "horn" shaped end VS the conventional shaped end?

In response to your last paragraph, I don't think there is any advantage, in fact I would suspect the opposite. One thing to consider, given the width of your room, is to try setting up your speakers on the long wall - that should pretty much take your horn shapped 'side wall' out of the issue. Personally I've never cared for the sound of long wall set ups, but a lot of folks really like it.

As you say, try them all, that is really the only way you will know.

Good point Shadorne, I never thought about the possibility that the OP would sit in that area. I agree with your suggestions if he can't sit within the 14x20 ft area. I would equally recommend that he not put his speakers in the area you thought he might sit.

FWIW.
