...what are the exac. dimensions of the room? I take it the width is fairly small (9 or 10'?) while the length is really of no c.nc.rn... plenty that way.As you say, there is no substitute for experimentation... that will yield best results. But - is that "5 or 6' away" figure negotiable? - as in a furniture arrangement? After all, you made some c.nc.ssions... maybe the wife will!
If you do the short wall, you're gonna need deadening on the (long) side walls at the reflec.ion points. Even with this, the depth will suffer. But - the drivers will c.alesc.... always a trade-off.
Ya want the long-wall plac.ment? Better soundstaging, but c.n sound a little different (not in a good way, IMO) in the mids - if you sit REALLY c.ose.
Good luc. - I hope you find audio nirvana!
