Hey guys,
Been lurking the forums for quite a while and finally decided to make an account and open up my dilemma to the enlightement of this forum.
My setup consists of 2 Purities, 1 Abyss Sub, 1 Matinee Center, and 2 Vignette Rears. The seating I have is a 4 seat Theater Section, with a loveseat in the center and a recliner on each side angled in-wards. Also we have two individual chair recliners on each side of the sectional to make somewhat of a semi-circle seating area.
The entire room is essentially off center due to just half walls and a door going to a balcony on the wall where the seating is and another door going to a closet where the TV and speakers are.
What is the best way to setup the speakers in a room like this where the seating isn't necessarily aligned with the center of the TV/TV stand which essentially throw off the placement of the speakers. Would not toe-ing the speakers inward and leaving them more straightward facing increase the width of the sound stage at all or would it still be best to try and align it to the center seat? Is the flashlight method pretty much the best method to try and align the toe-in of the speakers?
Thanks in advance to everyone for there help, and any input you guys could provide me would be great!
Oh and one last note, the speakers are used mainly for 5.1 movie use and very rarely see any type of stereo listening.
