Chess,
I don't doubt the effectiveness of that arrangement, and in a room dedicated solely to HT, I'm sure that's the thing to do. But, a large number of us have to incorporate our systems into normal living spaces. In my case, according to the diagram, with the "RW" at 11.5 feet, I should have the fronts of my speakers about 5 feet out from the RW. With an 18 foot long room that's just not practical. I can't let 4.5 feet of room (50 sq. of a 200 sq. foot room) lie fallow. (Plant yer crops early) Any suggestions? I can, however, achieve the rest of the dimensions, and I'm grateful for the info.
