I'm moving at the end of the week, which is almost all happy news when it comes to my audio setup, because I managed to sneak some LS60s and KC62s into the furniture budget under the mandate of preserving decor and eliminating boxes/wires.
It's all gravy, I don't mind having a nice-looking living room, either, especially not when it entails a considerable sonic upgrade to my "ugly" system.
The bad news is the new living room is going to have the right speaker pushed up against the sidewall, and the left channel >12 feet from the nearest lateral wall. Both will be close to the front wall. I expect this to have a bad effect on stereo image.
Rough relative sketch of layout:
Should I be thinking about putting diffusers on the right wall? Absorbers? Both? Any other thoughts on how to mitigate this?
LP can move a tiny bit front or back, possibly, but not to another location. The house came with a wall that was clearly designed to house a flatscreen TV, which dictates where the main system goes. (it's a TV shaped alcove with a power outlet in it 5 feet off the ground.) So barring renovations costing many times what the speakers do, positions are basically fixed here.
Speaker choice and general layout are locked in.
Any treatments added will need to pass strict WAF checks.
I do have a UMIK and REW experience to dive in with once I move in, no worries there.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
