i'm building a tracking and control room next year and have a decent budget.
But i am wonderring about the actualy SHAPE.
should i try to avoid parallel walls entirely? how many degrees OFF 90 works best?
who knows...but thank you again for your replies!

I have no experience with those. I love dry "neutral" monitors for nearfield my K&H don't really need eq control, and I think IMHO that those adaptive monitors are nice when you move alot and work in different rooms, at least that could be nice I guess (=deliberately vague).
I have to do some acoustic treatment to my CR too, next week the midfields will be ready (DIY). so bass traps defitively, soffit mount or just stone slabs, maybe put up a stone wall, some panels maybe for lower midrange, diffusers are not really necessary (lots of wood here). Search the board, you'll get a lot of info... I'm not the expert Anderson is..
