@OP While not necessarily the cause of your problem, you will get comb filtering from reflections from your sofa as well. So a throw on it will help as well. If you are hearing the problem within a foot of the speaker, check that it's not a resonance in the speaker itself - check that all the drive units are properly torqued.
Asymmetric Room
I have a semi treated asymmetric room & am getting some hash/glare from certain artists. I performed a frequency sweep from Qobuz using “Audio Line-Up Test Tones (Calibration Reference Check)”. I am getting a wavering tone in the 1khz and 1.25khz range.
chatGPT made several recommendations… speaker toe in, seating placement, ceiling treatment & treatment of the pool table on the left side (open area of the room). I can’t change seating position (large L shaped couch) & toe in had no effect. I very much prefer not to treat the ceiling (but will if I have to).
My system & room layout is loaded. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

@signaforce covering the TV will most likely not solve the issue. 1. Toe in more towards listening position - this will minimize reflection on the right from the window 2. engage the warm filter on the Qutest DAC. I remember this filter being my favorite when I had the Qutest 3. Try different digital cable. Not sure what cable you’re using now. I liked Audience USB on Qutest. |
@audphile1 Thanks! 1. The room has 8 windows, 4 on the right. As you saw there is a tall couch, multiple pillows and an acoustic panel. Everything I can do this side of heavy curtains. Played with toe in, will try again. |
