Over the weekend I decided to swap the places of my audio system and listening sofa just to check out how it will affect the sound. I was concerned with the lack of enough space between the speakers, but It was just impossible to further increase the distance between speakers without entering the door boundaries. The task was to keep the room functions intact so that the door is passable.
Repositioning of the system and listening seat turned out to be a great success and it confirms my notion that speaker position adjustments could bring dramatic improvement.
In his book Get Better Sound Jim Smith explains how to get the maximum performance out of the Hi-Fi system and he stresses the fact that proper speaker setup has a crucial influence on the system’s overall performance. Here is a very useful link to his writings on that topic www.getbettersound.com/quarternotesv5i2.html
In the Speaker placement post I mentioned that one have to comply to the room limitations factor and keep the room domestic functions intact. So at the end after switching system and listening positions the room feels even more spacey, the sound is bigger and I just feel happy.
