Description

My 2 channnel Stereo rig resides in the basement.

Room dimension are 14x19. The speakers are 6 10 " apart setup in an equalateral triangle.

I have the speakers 3.5 feet from the front and back walls (back wall distance varies depending on where I place my listening chair)

The imaging is solid now I'm currently working on improving overall depth and soundstaging

The room acoustics in this room are quite complicated The room is a difficult layout with lot's of restrictions. GIK Acoustics room treatments have helped to even out the room nodes

but there is still quite a bit of tinkering left

Ideas/suggestions how to further improve the existing layout and performance is welcome !

Thanks for stopping by

Well, I tried, Pat. At least it sounds very good to you right now, as is, so relax and enjoy it. Near-field listening has it's own rewards, as well.

My best to you,

Hi Pat, I've studied the photo's of your room as well as I can, and giving the limitations imposed by the views presented, I would like to make a suggestion, that being, if possible, re-orient your system ninety degress, so you can have more room for speaker set-up. An equilateral trianlge looks fairly impossible to achieve, giving you a very near-field listening situation. Try just moving the speakers temporarily the other firing direction, and see how it sounds. I may be mistaken, but looks as though in the photos that it might be achieveable to make the move that way. I finally moved my system 90 degrees, and it sounded like I must have dropped thousands more into my speakers, say going from the 5.4 Contours to up the Dynaudio line quite a bit more. Just a suggestion, but it might make a difference for you. It may present more problems though, but you never know until you try.

Enjoy, regards,
Dan
