We've recently moved into a new residence. The listening area is not entirely optimal, as pictured.
At the far end, behind the MLs is a bay window, the centre being about 3 feet deeper than the sides. The left wall is is drywall (and terminates after about 11 feet) and the right wall brick, running the length of the listening and dining room. The listening room meets the dining room (no rear wall). The rear of the couch (facing the speakers) is 17' from the deepest portion of the bay window. Ceilings are 9.5 feet, width of the listening room 9.7 feet. Floor is hardwood.
At the moment the MLs have been moved onto the area rug to accommodate the Christmas tree. Usually they are about 2 feet from the deepest portion, but less so along either side of the bay, but 2 feet or more from the flanking brick and drywall walls. Confuses me, so see attached images.
So despite a pretty good system, that in my previous home sounded amazing - in this room the sound is boomy, bright, not great imaging, flat. I have fiddled and fiddled with the ML position, used the flashlight method (to the great amusement of my wife).
Basically this is driving me completely bonkers. Any advice would be most appreciated.
