Post Subject: Diagonal placement !!Posted by CO on: 10/18/2007

Wow Robert thanks for all your ideas.

I happen to be using a diagonal placement now as well and I really like it. I thought I was the only one who knew this ! Smile
 
I did not think this new room would be big enough to do it so I threw the  idea out. I only recently thought about enlarging the room over the full length. It looks like this will be my best option.

The diagonal placement is great because it excites the room modes more distributed and lower in level + the side walls are relatively far away. Thanks for opening my ears again ! Also thanks for warning me about the sidewall problem. I was also a little worried about the sidewall problem but thought I should be able to fix it with damping. That will probably not be optimal…

 I have windows behind the screen in your last setup that I can still use so that would be my best option.

Why do you consider the hexagonal placement the best? Because of the flat wall behind the listener? (less cavities ?)


If the ‘closet’ behind the right speaker would be open near the windows do you think there would be a cavity resonance? I could make a door there as well I guess.

The only problem I’m still thinking about is I’m still fairly close to the speakers If I acousticly time alight them and want to keep them away from the back wall.

Regards, Collin
