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

You will probably need somewhere between a 30 degree and 45 degree toe-in to achieve a crossing point of about 1.5' - 2' in front of the listener. Using the laser will help. The benefit of toeing in this dramatically is usually a wider sweet spot and less impact of side wall reflections. Of course the type of speaker will have some say in that.

Once set up a laser and some flat mirrors can help you identify the reflection points. If you want to look into this further go here:
