New house and speaker placement question

[Ralf11]

can I convince you to swap the speakers/Ent. Ctr. with the couch?

 

really, either couch...

 

Generally, be concerned with [1] bass (long wavelengths which can stack up or null out at various places in the room), and

[2] treble (which acts a lot like a light beam)

 

 

you want to keep speakers out of corners (unless they are designed for it - RIP Roy Allison) as that modifies the bass; the worst thing is to put one in a corner and the other not

- keep them a few feet away from walls too

 

for treble, try to get walls (and other reflective surfaces) the same on both sides

 

There are other things after the above to tune them in better - e.g. using mirrors held along the side walls to pick a listening spot

 

and behind your head is an issue also - you want either free space (best) or a highly absorbent "painting" hung on the wall

B is better than A

 

cable TV outlets can be moved, or a WiFi connection from a tiny box to the TV/stereo can be implemented

 

how bad will B be is the real question...  I am sure you'll be able to tolerate it
