Square is probably the worst shape, cubic being the only obviously worse one. Lots of standing wave problems happen at frequencies (all multiple of the dimensions). Take the speed of sound, divide it by the room measurements, and you know the frequencies that are likely to cause problems. > Speakers need > to be equidistant off side walls and unless you need the walls for bass > reenforcement should be pulled forward a foot or more off back wall. I find I need more like four or five feet from the back and side walls. And my chair has to be four or five feet from the back and side walls as well. All of which causes problems with the WAF. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
