Shortrip

Tonight I will try them 6 inches off the back wall and 70.656 inches from each of the side walls. This should put the speakers about 9.5 feet apart, and set up my chair about nine feet from each of the speakers. Hopefully magic ensues. I am sure that the amount of toe in will take some fiddlin, based on how wide a soundstage (i.e. wether its just me or we have guests). Thanks for all the help.

Purchased a pair of relatively untouched La Scala speakers from 1979 over the weekend. I know that a square garage with an open beam roof (there is some insulations stuffed up there) is less than ideal, nevertheless that is where I have my system set up, and where people congregate to have drinks when we have guests. To furthur complicate things, the corners are not accesible since there is a mosquito mister tank located in one of the corners. The garage is 256" by 256" or 21 and 1/3rd feet square. According to the Evolution Acoustics site: http://www.evolutionacoustics.com/support/speaker-placement/square-room-placement/ They should be placed 70.656 inches from the sidewalls, this is easily accomplishable. The problem is that it calls for the speakers to be placed 114.432 feet from the backwall which is silly, its half way into the room and with the size of the La Scala's my sitting position would be underneath the garage door, so that is out. I was thinking about trying the 70 inches from the sidewalls, and 16 inches from the backwall, and seeing how that works. Any suggestions?
