Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and although I'd love to discuss the layout of a new home theater room, I have to make a small living room work for now. The room is 14'Wx10'Dx8'H and I am forced to put my main speakers on one of the 14' walls since both short walls have a door and don't have enough space for the speaker-tv-speaker configuration. This forces my sofa (primary listening position) against the back wall. I have read that this is not optimal due to reflections, but I am curious how this issue manifests itself. Is it typically a high frequency problem, low frequency problem, both, or are generalizations a waste of time because each room is unique. I have played with sub crossover and sub location in an attempt to address boominess. My sub seems to have less of a problem at the problem frequencies than my mains. I've also noticed a sort of effervescence at high listening levels. Is this normal in a small room with hard walls? I'd love to hear thoughts and ideas to address these issues.
Thanks,
Mike
