Speaker placement for a weird shaped room?
Hey this is my first post so i hope this is in the right place...
I have a odd shaped room and was just wondering on were to place my bench, monitoring speakers and computer?

Sorry about the dodgy paint drawing but i don't have a camera at this point in time. The shape is similar to the base of a rectangular pyramid with flat side walls and the top cut off.. Name: room shape.png Views: 602 Size: 8.0 KB

Any help would be appreciated

You want to face the short wall to give the speakers the longest throw to the back wall (behind you).
