You may hope to listen "acoustic instruments and voices as accurately as the recording allows" only when there are no walls, no floor and no ceiling at all. Even if you use headphones, but you are in a room, low frequencies will distort your sound.

To achieve an according between measurements and calculations you, the first, have to determine the Power Point for your sub (with relating to LF range, because your sub may have more, than one PP), i.e. to find the coordinates set of PP inside your sub, the second, place your sub the same...

You have to shift your sub forward from front wall to 11 inches to get 23" from front wall.

Look at this picture, please. I've tried to show how to evaluate distances for front wall.

It means, that in accordance to REW ideology you may turn your sub by 180 degrees from main angle position (face to listener). See mark 'invert' when simulate by control interface of code. At inverse position distance between sub PP (cone) and wall equals 0.

As I know (I don't have the latest version of REW), the coordinating limit for sub power point position is 30x15 cm, where 30 cm is minimum distance to front or rear wall and 0 cm for invert sub position. So, if you consider PP at 23 inches for your sub and want to place it sticking to wall...

OK, drop it. Use EQ or DSP and enjoy.

The stereo scene width to a large extent depends of first reflections control. Do, please, a simple experiment: seat at listening position with to big ceramic plates in your hands and turn on only stereo front speakers with control music stereo signal. Choose directions of first reflections such...

Firstly, try to look for good acoustics consulting firm or an expert, if you want to get the best sound in your room. Secondly, ask them to prepare the technical task for results you need to get. What results? Look. Your FR (frequencies Response) must be smooth and maximum close to linear...

Unfortunately, your query goes beyond simple advices. There are some acoustical simulators, for instance, CaraCAD, REW or any, where you can do modelling, even with you furniture and different finishing subjects. Some of them are paid service, some - not. Maybe you should contact with any...

For your 2.1 system is better to use maximum of output sound for best listening. If you will up F-crossover it means, that low frequency range will be played by your sub only. It's not good to my opinion, because your front speakers have good opportunity to play sound from 60 Hz. You will lose...

I would like you to pay attention to your speakers. Unfortunately, our brave government has made YouTube forbidden zon for me and I cannot understand, where they are. Your speakers in low range work from 60 Hz, don't you? It means, that SPL for them in your issue (loss of bass 70 - 80 Hz) is...
