Not knowing all the details, I'm just mentioning things to consider. Keeping free-standing speakers a reasonable distance from boundaries is important. |
How far should I shoot for having them out from the walls? I read in the EBU Subjective Assessment of Audio Quality that the recommendation is 1m or 3.28ft, but that is unattainable I'm afraid for a room the size of mine.
Also, is it a bad thing for a fabric covered absorbent bass-trap to
be almost touching the back of the speakers? My speakers are powered (Mackie HR824) and need good ventilation, but, that provided for, would it cause any acoustic problems to be there? Here is a pic of where I might put it. In the pick, note the point where my RFZ angles were measured from. The speakers are just there for looks- didn't know if that was misleading. Anyway, let me know what you think.
