Hi. Thanks for the clarification response. Since its part of a house, the room dictates speaker location to a degree. The speakers cannot be on the long wall that has the dining room open behind as one speaker would have a wall behind it, and the other none. If you flipped it, then the speakers go on the wall with the window, and you get the listening location a bit close to the speakers. Also the chair gets nestled into that odd alcove, and I suspect that creates its own issues. If you go long ways, you cannot locate the speaker where the French doors are, as the wiring would go across the threshold and be a nuisance, as entering and exiting between the speakers. From my perspective, it seems where they are is the most conducive to daily living, which unfortunately has to be factored into the equation. But this does not mean that the distance to the front wall is not adjustable, nor width, or the location of the listening position.
I do use a DEQX 2.6P to measure the room, with calibrated mic. I can perform parametric eq functions, time alignment, and measure the results once corrections are put in. But its only capable of so much, and the more processing it is asked to do, the more it affects the overall sound also. It's been my experience that with this device less is more, if you can reach that point.
Oh to the point regarding the tables. The equipment racks will be moved when new speaker wire is ordered. Part of the location is dictated by the fact that my speaker wire is 12' long, and interconnects are 1 to 1.5 meters, so to get things wired up, there is a bit of a tether.
Sorry for the mess of the pics, we are in the process of moving in still. As far as furnishing the room, that is a bit of a quandary also. We moved from a 2500 SQF house to a 1000SQF apartment, and divested ourselves of all furnishings that could not fit in the apartment. They were worn from raising kids anyways, and not needed at this stage of our life. So there is nothing to put in there that is not going to have to be purchases, and the main purpose of this room is for listening to music. So aside from my massage chair, its carte blanche for furnishings and wall hangings.
