Our living room is part of a somewhat open floorplan townhouse and there are openings into adjacent areas on either side of the wall against which my listening couch backs up to. These openings are about 8 feet wide, on each side of that rear wall, and mean that the room cannot really be "pressurized" by loudspeakers.
What this precisely means for speaker setup, etc., is what I'm asking. I sent photos to Jim Smith (Get Better Sound) and his immediate comment was that this room topology limits what I can do and in turn what he can do. He thought that having him spend significant time would not be fruitful for this reason alone.
I'm sure that this isn't rare, especially as more open floorplan designs started becoming popular at least here in the States quite a while ago.
Any comments or suggestions? My A3's sound pretty darn good, and I'm happy sitting in the room and listening. But I know that all things being equal, a room that can be 'sealed' has advantages - apparently!
