NEW SMALLER LISTENING ROOM - WHAT AM I NOT THINKING OF...???

(but i'm w/charles - move the speakers further into the room; slide everything rearward, maybe even the bookshelf/record cabinet.)
and i'd also consider sound absorption at the 1st sidewall reflection points; makes a nice difference in a narrow room. depending on the shelving on the right side, that may act in this fashion all by itself, and you would only have to put something on the left side.
definitely agree about curtains on the windows, and nothing between the speakers, w/exception of amp/s on the floor. and, maybe it's possible to have the shelving split in two, so that it can be moved all the way to the back of the room on each side? then your audio gear except amp/s can be on the side wall in front of one of the shelves, and the room remains as wide as possible, w/a place for proper sound absorption at the 1st reflection points to the listening position.
my idea:

"Avoid left / right symmetry, especially with respect to corners, halls and walls. It’s okay to have your speakers symmetrical with each other, but make sure they’re not exactly symmetrical to the room."

Whatta you guys thinking on this?
Thanks,

(genesis loudspeakers agrees w/me. i recently read it in one of their manuals i was perusing. or i agree w/them? heh!)
ymmv,

Absolutely 100% agree. Using the Sheffield break in disc there is a in phase out of phase track to adjust ones speakers. If not getting a center image in phase and a coming to you from all around the room image adjusting one speakers toe in or position is moved. Usuall a minor move of ONE SPEAKER. Either toe in or position. Works every time
