Hi.
I have a pretty small room as a reference studio. Confession: I've set it up facing the long wall. Partly because the ceiling is raised, partly because of cupboards, windows and doors in the room. In terms of sound stage and general sound quality, it sounds a lot better than when I tried it the right way.
However, there's a vast, stubborn null. I'm pretty sure it's caused by boundary interference from the back wall (could be wrong). I have tried adjusting speaker height and distance from front and side walls, but null doesn't really budge.
I have a lot of 6" broadband fibreglass panels, including on the ceiling. Also have tried subwoofer placement, without much success thus far (could be there are spots that would help).
I have an acoustician coming over later in the week. He thinks it should be possible to figure something out. In the meantime I was curious to see if anyone has thoughts on what, if anything, might work - partly so I am not totally on the back foot and can discuss options with him.
I'll attach a sketch of the room dimensions. I have actually scooted the LP a lot further forward toward the speakers, which does make the bass null less severe.
Edit - I know the high end also has some null issues, but I'm not so worried about those at this point. Perhaps wrongly I see high end as a bit easier to manage.
