I decorated my front room. Everything went and then some things came back. This is a family room and living is more important than hifi. In this stage of my existence just about everything is more important than hifi to me .

I have two sofa's on walls that are at right angles to each other. A fire place is on one of the other walls and a bay window on the final wall. I can't have speakers on one wall really as somebody is sat really off axis. The sofa and TV are in the best position for living. I don't have many options as regards speaker placement. I considered ceiling speakers and am still considering them. 🤔

Currently have the two speakers set up touching each other at one side of the bay window and pointing into the corner opposite which is in the corner of the right angle created BT the two sofa's. This seems the best option for everybody.

I am very much liking it so far. I don't miss the stereo effects of distancing speakers apart or soundstaging or all the other bollox people often go on about. I think as a concept it works for me. More thoughts as I get them (which might be a while).
 
The speakers in my sitting room are diagonally opposite each other with the sofa in the middle. It's a sort of headphone effect.

Been that way for years and I'm just used to it.
