Awesome: Dual front speakers.

i think most folks have to make trade offs with placement when they don't have a dedicated listening room. but it's a good thing to try to set things up optimally once in a while to get a benchmark of how your gear and room can sound at its best.

often when trying placement changes its good to start with a radical change in a certain direction to hear the difference it makes, then gradually move back to where you can place them in the real world.

as you move back to a real world placement, try to bring back the good qualities you heard at the optimal position with treatments. i mean, even with optimal positioning you'll probably do better with treatments, but you'll have real targets to shoot for now.

if that speak is going to end up back in the corner you might think about thick treatments in the corner. if close to a sidewall, thinner treatments on the wall at the reflection point on the wall (see "mirror" in the article). you can use stuff from around the house to get an idea of what treatments will do (like pillows, cushions, comforters, coat racks, furniture, bookshelves and on and on).

it's good to pick a limited number of tunes that you know very well that you have heard on many systems that you go back to when you make changes. you will find certain qualities about them that you will expect to change in certain ways for certain types of moves.

Thats really very good advice Scott. It really makes a big difference when you have a refrence point on how it should sound like. Thanks man...I guess I do have much better sound without stacking.

no problemo. keep plugging, keep listening, keep reading.

the more balanced tonal uh,balance you get, the more precise your image, the more details you discover, the deeper you can hear into the music, the better reference you have to continue improving.
