Sofa between the speakers? Good or bad idea?

[The Black Adder]

Hi all.

Having a wee shuftee recently... Has anyone placed a leather sofa between their speakers? Just wondering if anyone could give me some idea if it's a good idea or not... obviously I will try it later but just thought I'd ask.

A note: The center of the speakers (Tannoy DC) would be above the back of the sofa though.

It will cause issues with soundstaging, imaging and other potential problems.

Don't do it

If you put 2 mirrors opposite on the other wall then it should reflect back to you nicely on the sofa:eyebrows:

Twits that come with all this Technical crap within Hi-Fi look so foolish to me.

The simple answer is get some gear and measure the response, a real livable room isn't going to be perfect before or after the sofa install without some major equalization.

[The Black Adder]

Well today I tried it... and today I moved it.

Can i ask do you guys listern to the music or the stereo? :D

Ha ha, good question André, but we both know the answer to that one ;)

[Marco]

Music is ultimately the most important, but if you like good sound as much as you do good music (and if not, why are you a member of a high-end audio forum?), then it's important to set up 'the stereo' right! ;)

Marco.

[The Barbarian]

High End! :lol: However why indeed. I aint got a single bit of interest in anything you guys play about with :D

[The Black Adder]

lol.. we get accustomed to how our system sounds. Regardless of it's components.

Moving things around in room equates to a 50/50 chance of messing something up but obviously it could also improve things. So, the answer to your question, Andre is both... music quality for me and others is just as important as the music itself.

The look of a system is also in there for some and can be in a higher priority bracket of the both quality and the music they play. There is lot's of ways to look at it.

[The Barbarian]

You'll find the look is important being down to the wife saying what's what :lol:

[Marco]

Certainly not here, that's for sure! ;)

I don't think that's the case either in your house.....

Marco.

[The Barbarian]

Aye true The old Barbarian aint no mouse. Aint a sheep either :lol:

[Marco]

High End! :lol: However why indeed. I aint got a single bit of interest in anything you guys play about with :D

Yet for some reason you keep coming back (again and again) for more... You must be a right glutton for punishment!! :lol:

Wind up is the main priority for me these days :eyebrows:

[Marco]

No bad thing necessarily, as long as you can take it as well as dish it out... ;)
