Shal,

Use the calibration as a baseline and let your ears decide on the final tweaks.

I went home last night and calibrated all my speakers and then took your advice and moved the mains out about 16" each. I also toed them in just a bit. I was totally blown away at the difference. Wow!!! I now know what you mean when you say it would widen the soundstage. Thanks again guys for all your help and suggestions.

Did you set the center up a few db and have a chance to see if makes a difference?

yes I did, but it sounded a bit too loud. So I set it even with the fronts. When I calibrated my speakers, the center was way off.

I like the paint treatment, looks very warm. Looks like you made a great space out of what would have been attic. If you think it is still very reflective in your room you should take a look at gik accoustics web page. They make some nice absorption panels in colors that your wife may approve of, pretty good prices too.

Room Acoustics.....Can anyone give me some suggestions on treatments for my room. I think the angled ceilings are causing me problems. If I clap my hands, it doesn't seem to echo much, but it hurts my ears a bit. My back walls may also need some attention. You can view the pictures on the first page of this post. Maybe you've come across a website that talks about unusual ceiling shapes and how to treat reflections.

Thanks,

Todd

Stop clapping your hands with your head in between them.
