I have a 2' recess on the Front wall behind my right speaker and it's placement now is about 2' 7" out into the room, putting it in plane with my left speaker. The left speaker can be placed as close to the wall as I want. What to do?

I had a room setup like that many moons ago in the last century. I was using Mission two ways, and with the alcove exposed it sounded - well, awful. I bought a bookcase to put in the recess, filled it full of cheap old books and it restored the balance. You could even go to one of the local library fire sales (they have them round here) and buy some Jean Paul Sartre, Wittgenstein, and Dostoyevsky books to fill the shelves and really impress your friends. Until they ask you about them. Ask me how I know.

Get some 2 x 4s and frame a wall at the front of the recess. Nail up some sheetrock. Throw some joint compound on any gaps. Don't worry about paint. Replace right speaker 7" from new wall.

How do the speakers sound already? There may be less low bass reinforcement from one speaker or it may not matter at all depending on the room.

Bass is a difficult frequency for your brain to locate where it's specifically coming from so it shouldn't affect imaging much if at all. If there's dead even bass coming out of each speaker exactly you MIGHT notice that it sounds like it's coming slightly left of center instead of dead center as an example. It's probably not a big deal in that regard though. The only big issue is you're losing some bass in general from the right speaker.
Does it sound fine to you as is?
I've never tried listening like that, and I could be wrong, but it seems like not too big of an issue if you're happy with the current bass performance.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.
