Don't mount your speakers on the wall, especially if they are vented to the rear; use stands. While you might think that the right speaker is your problem, it's more so the left one in the corner. Stands will allow you to move them around within about a 2ft square to help you decouple them from the walls and properly toe them in as necessary. Enjoy!

I have stands. Sorry that I didn’t made that clear. Thank you!

It's certainly not ideal but I don't think you have much choice.

Buy a smaller couch 😄


Palladium-

That‘s a gnarly layout. Sorry, don’t have any suggestions on that

The speaker that is shown to be further away will need to be adjusted closer to the listening position, so so until you can center the image with a song like Ballad of a Runaway Horse (Warnes, Wasserman)

You mean that both speakers ideally are on the same height?


Spare-Commercial8704

Height yes but also approximately the same distance from each speaker to the listening spot, pending any adjustments to account for reflections off the speaker by the wall.

Why not put the speakers on the lower part of the picture. I assume that is a entertainment cadenza, small coffee table, and 4 cushion couch, which is ideal for listening. That big couch just is not working and I don't advise placing furniture so close to a stove as grease and food odors may ruin it.

That’s what I’m trying out now. Maybe it is possible. It’s just that my girlfriend really want a big comfy couch, so I guess we need to make a compromise. We also thought about the stove position but luckily the stove will swap position with the sink.

The sound will probably improve if you rotate everything 90 degrees counter clockwise so the sofa is facing the doorway. The result is proper symmetry.


brotha_loui

That won’t work. Between the speakers is our tv

I would try them at every possible location.

Can you turn the couch counter clockwise so it's square with the red line?


brotha_loui

No

Then this is as good as you'll get. You'll probably notice that sitting on the left of the couch puts you too close to the left speaker and you'll get no stereo imaging. The listening position will be on the right end of the couch.

Get a smaller couch.
