    Plenty of "flat pack" sofas available!

    Fine, but I have had those and they won't help much with room acoustics. Some bookcases and plenty of books might help though.

Ideally, if given the choice, speakers should ocupy the 'live' end of the room, with the listener (sat on his nice comfy sofa), at the 'dead' (or deader) end of the room. Put your record storage racks at the listening end, or hang up some heavy curtains there.
    Oh, hold on a minute, I missed the part when it was mentioned that three was a tree in there. What size and where is it in relation to the speakers?
