Due to WAF and because my audio room is also our living room, speaker placement is very constrained. They are symmetrically placed with respect to the TV and stereo cabinet by about 8-9 feet apart, but the distance from rear of the speakers to the wall behind is 12 inches only. To compensate, digital room correction (DRC) is necessary and I've worked with Mitch at https://accuratesound.ca/ to build a DRC convolution filter to compensate (note that I am not in any way affiliated with Mitch or his business except as a very satisfied customer). The filter is loaded into Roon (my EVO432 streamer is a Roon core) and so all streaming music is modified by it. Music now sounds INCREDIBLE - stable, centered images; balanced across the entire frequency range; and 3-dimensional (extends wide beyond the L-R speaker boundaries, and extends deep between the speakers). DRC is highly recommended.
