    Cut your ears off. Place one in the guvnors chair and one in the chair on the right. Problem solved.

    Very quick test today

    Playing Psychedelic Furs
    Sit in my chair - ok
    Sit in the guvnor's chair, better
    Sit in the chair on her right - in the corner of the room
    Pretty good, not far off and probably still better than my chair !

    More experimentation required

    OK?

    Not a lot I can do with the kit position and the work involved is a bit much, Mana racks and soundbases spiked into everything

    You'd have to reverse the speaker leads.

    Is there a wall behind you that may be reflecting back at you and causing some sort of cancellation - even a few feet away, not immediately behind you?

    I put reflections traps on the ceiling in a diamond shape (two "L"s) and there's been a great improvement with late reflections here too. Noting I can do about the wall behind my sofa

    The chairs are parallel to the walls and hifi.

    Apart from furniture the only main thing is the right hand chair is much closer to the right hand wall, so maybe good reflections
