On the first reflections I have a plush couch/love seat placed. Not sure how much this really helps. The floor is carpeted. Behind the TV smack in the middle is a brick fireplace.
I've always said a TV smack in the middle can't help anything. Projector would be the only solution for that, spendy...
Rives, I was going to list everything wrong with the room, but to same time, the only thing not wrong is I don't have a bay window. :) Being that I'm renting, I assume the dedicated lines was pushing things, not really sure how much more I can get away with.
Thanks for the input, I have measured the overall room response via your test cd. It should look like a ekg, right? Guess I should figure out how to straighten that graph out.
Side question: I assume you have gone into a setup with the response all over the graph. How much of a difference did it sound when you did your thing.
