My reco is to start with absorption placed at the speaker mirror points on the side walls - the points where you would see your speakers in a mirror placed along the wall.

You can go from there, a little at a time, following the acoustic panel manufacturer’s suggestions.

I don’t think the sectional couch will be an issue - it will be a great low frequency absorber and will not reflect the sound from the left speaker.

Try removing the coffee table and listening without it. It can make a huge difference. It is a large reflective surface between you and your speakers. You can always put a nice thick comforter on it for critical listening. We use several smaller tables, but with kids this may not be practical as they WILL knock them over and spill your red wine on your beautiful floor.

Fantastic room, we use our combo theater and 2 Chennal room a lot. Movie nights with kids are great!

Thanks Tom for the nice comments and recommendations. I started looking at GIK offerings and I really like their products. They are realistically priced and they look very good. I am sure it will complement my room very well.

I am doing a follow up as I went to Montreal this weekend to pick up that yellow piece of furniture I was talking about in my previous post. I found one in mint shape for 90$. Ikea no longer offer other colors than gloss white now. I find the yellow mustard to add a bit of pop in the room. The configuration is not ideal now as the Bryston units are stacked up but I was in a rush to have everything put back up. With a longer USB cable, I would move the BDP on the left side of my amplifier.

Good to know that the sectional will not be an issue. It's the perfect size and style I want for our space.
