After several upgrades I am fairly happy with my setup but I recon my room has more effect on overall sound than spending double on kit. Is this issue overlooked in the magasine? My room is far from ideal but I have 'better' kit than many of my friends. Their systems often sound better than mine since they have IMO a more ideal room layout.
Few of us can change our rooms too much and adding traps etc does not seem a good option in a normal living environment. Yet most of us are using our systems in a domestic environment.
My question / debate centres around a need for advice about setting up in non-ideal rooms. L-shaped rooms; corner TV systems, wide rather than long setups (as mine is) http://www.whathifi.com/forum/your-system/a-few-more-photos-compromise-lounge-home-cinema .
Is it possible to give advice on speaker location, crossover settings, toe-in, rear channel prefs etc? in these non-ideal situations?
Maybe the answer to all this is NO - experiment ! But maybe some have experiences to help out?
Hve a nice day out there.
(PS - How are you Stu?)
