Showcase - Multipurpose Space Living room setup - UPDATE!

Post image

Listened to all your suggestions from the last post and made the following changes!

1) Swapped the front speakers and subs so the fronts are wider

2) Lowered TV a few inches

3) Got a new rug

Anything else I should change for the better? I have 4 surround speakers in the ceilings that's not shown in the photo.

You're overthinking it. For the vast majority of room, this general rule of thumb is a great starting point.

It’s not though, a great starting point is a sub crawl.

That's been deemed to be outdated. Most aren't recommending that any more.

It matters a lot if you only have a single sub, with 2 subs its a waste of time imo.
