Monitors Placement (Pic Added)

[Jomox]

I would move them further away from the window/wall.

I would also move allot of the clutter from on the desk as that is not helping and use some of that acoustic foam you have in a good place to help trap some frequencies. (The Clutter is in the way of the acoustic foam doing a better job)

You should also get a set of monitor pads to decouple your monitors of the desk.

As it is you are getting allot of reflections from the desk. I use a desk that size and monitor pads helped allot when placing them on the desk. I now have speaker stands to further correct issue's.

The distance between the monitors should be the same as the distance from the monitors to your ears. The monitors should toe in towards you. The curtains do nothing. If you can get away from the wall a little distance, it is better.

"...can i buy proper thick acoustic curtains..."

from a studio perspective, in your intended use there is no such thing.

In terms of location, you have to work within what your room allows. But speakers couple to adjacent surfaces, be that walls or ceilings or whatever, changing the response of the cabinet.

In your case you have the wall behind both cabinets and a side wall near the left cabinet, a less than desirable situation. A mix position is best when it is bi-symmetric.

The speakers might do to be lifted up a bit too, to get them more at ear level.

In terms of how far from the walls is best, I'm sure that you only have X amount of room with which to work. Do what you can.

Trapping is a different issue. Most rooms benefit from trapping. Smaller rooms usually have more problems and could benefit from more trapping, but have less room for it. So again, you do what you can do within the parameters you are given.

The trick is to balance what you can spend, against what you can do, against what you can reasonably expect to get in the space, and try to come up with the best result. It is good that you care and want to try to get the best sound that you can get with what you have.

I'd raise them up a bit to... right now they seem pretty low. You want them/the tweeters around ear height.

haha thanks a lot you guys really appreciate it.

yea my room is only 3.6 x 2.4 metres and it is also a rehersal room (have an electric kit in the back) so i cant really put the the consle in the middle of the room
