Try pulling your speakers out into the room as much as your bass frequencies allow (front wall reinforcement plays a big part of selecting this distance) and the place your speakers up to with in 18 inches of the wall with them toes in so that the axis of the speaker crosses well in front of your listening position. This toe in will kill most of the lst reflection issues from the side wall. Try it, it can work. Professionals frequently use this for set up in small rooms. Try it, its free. Works for me.
Side or back wall more important for speakers?
Many of us are not fortunate enough to have a dedicated listening that allows us to position our speakers optimally. If you had to choose one, which would it be:
1. Place speakers away from back wall
2. Place speakers away from side walls
From my non-scientific tests, it seems that the sidewalls play a bigger role in soundstaging and achieving a holographic sound. What do you think?
