Re: New room with weird shape - setup and acoustical treatment?

Boris,

So facing a corner is bad because of the wall-to-wall junction.

Actually, facing a corner is bad more because that puts another corner
directly behind you. Corners are sort of like parabolic dish antennas. They
focus the sound at you, which is bad.

Facing the wall makes the setup unsymmetric in that room, since the
ceiling is higher at the left side of the room than on the right, as
pointed out in my original post. Any thoughts regarding this trade-off?

Symmetry is important, but if it's only the ceiling height I'd be less
concerned.
