Hi Folks,
I'm just days away from the installation of my new HT setup and have a question about how I might compensate for the shape of the space. The HT is basically in one corner of my basement so two of the walls are much further from the seating position than the front or right. You can see a simple diagram at this URL
The "S" designates a speaker and as you can see the side surround to the left of the listener is on a column that hides a support beam and the rear surrounds if I decide to use them as such, (these are also serving as a second listening zone for my home office) are well behind the seating position.
My receiver is a Denon 3803 and although I have not yet had a chance to get my hands on it because the gear is being delivered this weekend I understand that this receiver has pretty good distance compensation features to compensate for speaker placement.
My side surrounds are Definitive Technologies BPX bipolars, which I am hoping might help alleviate a little of the problem from the missing side wall to the left of the listener (about 10' away). The rear surround/zone 2 speakers are Definitive Technologies Studio Monitors.
Does anyone have ideas about how either the receiver settings or other techniques might compensate for the room shape?
Thanks,
Tom
