One of the themes running through the HiFi show is correct room set up It be interesting to know how much people pay attention to this and how much difference this has made
Speaker placement and position is something worth playing with I tend to perfer my speakersquite wide aart and usually have about 3 foot away from back walls and perhaps 2.5 foot from side walls but it is something I will play about with.Also I usually perfer my speakers slightly toe-in 15 -20% but again this will depend on the speaker at the moment I am seeing if I can get used to sound not toe-in I will give it a few weeks in a forward facing position and then see which i perfer next weekend.
I guess the other big one was to use felt to cover the speakers This help with room reflections and for helped the speaker to disappear more
I do not have any room treatments and I am not using room correction
Also its interesting that modern homes are probarly not great acoustically eg suspended wood flooring. Whilst a recording studio will usually put a lot of effort to get the right sound
Its a area that is rarely talked about but a bit of effort can bring good rewards
