Hi Mark Of course, but not sure how easy this may be in practice. Would I use the first golden rectangle on the smallest plane, and intersect the others with that. Then use each rectangle corner as a line from centre until it hits reaches a wall and then mark the speaker position? The problem I have is the room has a sloping ceiling, low at front and then high at the back. I would prefer to extend the angles and attach speakers to the boundaries rather than build a frame to hold them, as that would use up space and become an obstruction. It is also easier to attach to walls and ceiling. I was thinking of having the face of a Dodecahedron on the floor. This way there will be less obstruction in the room and I will only have to embed one speaker in the floor (i'm using both the vertices and faces of dodecahedron). Does anyone know of a simpler and maybe more accurate method?
