High Rushton your agreement with Mr. Cardas is usually right for my preferred listening position. I have to similarly agree with Mr. Porter and Dave.
I must add that I have a dificult to Cardas place my speakers in my WAF system (Rush you never saw it) The room is about 30+ feet in length but only 10 Feet in width the end are an open entrance to a small office and the other a large window set up. The height is 8+ ft. Get this the entire wall which the speakers fire into the long wall is a monstrous mirror. Hey it came with the house. The equipment rack is a danish modern maple expandble multi compartment piece. It is maybe 24 inches in height, is 12 feet or more, and two feet deep. The speaker are placed at the ends over 2 feet into the room so it should be terrible. Echos, reflections booming bass and all because I invested nothing by way room treatments, of course no soundstage right??? You guessed it, nope no reflection lord knows why and it stages well. Beats me but if think I jest ask Slipknot or Trelja.
