 The non-parallel walls aren't different enough to really make a lot of difference. Normally, we need 1" per foot of length per wall to really be effective. What you have just makes it harder to pinpoint things as there will be small variations - sorry. |
If only I knew that before ...

Diffusion behind your head is not likely a good option if it's only 1m away. That said, your seating is a bit far back in that room. Ideally, you'd be about 2.9m from the front wall to your ears. |
That's around half a meter forward. I always thought that the most important was the distance from the seating position to the speakers, not to the front wall.
I placed my speakers that far from the front wall to get the most satisfying bass response. Then I moved my seating position a bit to get the best sound stage/imaging I could.
I'll try to move my sweet spot tonight when I get home. Maybe I should start over again by sitting at 2.9m from the front wall and adjusting speaker placement afterwards...

Some of the issue you're having with imaging is that you're toeing in the speakers a lot and firing into a corner. Try them more straight ahead. Something on the front wall that's absorbent would help for 2 channel but obviously not be allowed when viewing videos. |
You mean firing into a corner on the back wall, right?
I had in mind to attach an absorbent material to the front wall around and maybe behind the screen, so that won't be a problem when viewing videos. What I have now is a temporary solution to test different configurations.

Treatments: Some of the masking is due to bass ringing in the room - lack of broadband bass control. I'd also recommend a couple of panels on the front half of the side walls. If you want to try some diffusion, the rear half of the side walls would be a good choice. |
Ok, the first one is pretty easy to try. Thanks !
