Thread: Setup Input

Subwoofer, AH has good articles on finding placement. I think closer to the mains is not a bad idea for certain reasons, but I should also note that the square dimensions of 16x16 are the worst you can have, and you will suffer no matter what. You can significantly treat the space, but it will only do so much for the acoustical situation. Corner setup does happen often in many homes, but ...

Thanks for the input, I have been toying with the idea of putting the TV and fronts along the bottom wall, and then a chair in each corner flanking the fireplace. This gives me a large wall to spread the speakers out on, and would allow the sub to be placed in the front, and the mains to be spread out to about 8' apart. Also, doing so would mean I could run wire around the outside of the room ...

I admit I don't like the idea of putting the seating in the corners. However, it still must be better than the present layout. Is it a possibility to have the setup be against the wall on the right?? Lengthwise orientation is best for acoustics. You would also achieve getting away from any wall directly behind you. And lastly, your seating isn't forced into corners.

Thats a big sliding glass door so no we couldn't block it.
