Re: Improving my home theater acoustics


Yeah - that was a bit backward - sorry. You start with the seating position in basically the right place. Then you move the speakers to fit the situation. You may have to tweak the seating position a little bit (a few inches) but nothing like 1/2 meter.

The other issue is that the screen is awfully big for that room and those speakers as it pushes things pretty far outside so any toe in has their backwave shooting right into a corner. We'll do what we can.

Absorption behind the screen will help a little in the upper bass thru the mids but the screen obviously will be naturally reflective in the highs. Again, a little less toe in will help.
