My system consists of a parasound avc 1800/b&k av 5000 and monitor audio speakers. I also have acoustic treatment and roomlens and have played a little bit with both. My room is 12x18. My monitor audio's are about 8ft apart, 3feet from the front wall, 2 feet from the side walls and i am seated approx. 9feet from the front baffles. I have used ETF 5 for flat frequency response but the problem is not accuracy but imaging/the"sweetspot". There is the layout. My problem is not when i am necessarily seated directly into the sweetspot(center position), music and movies are enticing and my MA's are musical but when i put 2 recliners together or i have a 2-3 seater couch if the listener is as little as a couple feet off axis then the closer speaker begins to dominate the other. I don't know if the listeners to the sides can enjoy the same sound quality as the listener in the center seating position but i would certainly invite suggestions as to how i can WIDEN the "sweetspot" and how to improve the sound for the other seating positions. I also need to place my sub properly, it lacks bass impact.
