After reading his article on speaker positioning in SGHT, I thought I might as well take his challenge to see if his positionings really do work.
Based upon this Instead of having my speakers placed about 24" from the wall, I moved the front speakers to 42" out from the wall, or the recommended 1/10 length of the 35' room.
Then I placed the left speaker 16.8" from the left wall and I then placed the right speaker 16.8" from the right wall, based on the 1/10 or 3/10 postionings for A seats. (I chose A seats). Then I placed the sub as close to the center of the room as possible (allowing room for the tv). I will have more flexibility for sub placement when I get that tv outta there and a projector/screen in.
Well I have to say upon listening to these new positionings the room response just sounds awesome. At my previous positions I noticed a huge bass hump about 11 feet from the front wall and now that is totally disappeared.
The sound quality now seems to be totatlly unified across the whole room and it may be just me but bass response seems waaaaay smoother and more accurate.
You should check out the home theater architect article in the June 2001 SGHT and try these positonings for yourself.
