Living Room Converted to HT Room

[jmascreen]

All,

After a long time I got around 2 weeks of free time from office, which I had utilized to convert my living room to a HT room . The process is just started with a DIY Wall unit and finishing my incomplete DIY FS finishing jobs. Attached are some images. Also requesting some feedback and suggestions.
There were couple of stuffs which I noticed, if anyone could answer them will really helpful.
1) Noticed that the lows from right side tower is more than the other, is this because its placed near the wall?
2) The stereo imaging is been like lost any suggestion to get this back

Yes, you get more bass when helped by a boundry, which is why people place subs in corners, where 3 boundries (2 walls and floor) meet.

Point the speakers at your main listening seat. Also check to make sure speakers are in phase (red and black speaker wires connected incorrectly, either at the speaker or amp).

You can Google how to make DIY bass traps and put them on the right side wall. If the bass in general is too much, then use the tone controls to turn down the bass.

Keep in mind that the only way to get your soundstage to sound symmetrical (consistent from left to right) is to have your speaker layout placed symmetrically in the room. If you can't do that, then you have to resort to the band-aids mentioned above (tone control, bass traps).

Nice setup. The DIY floor standers are massive. Try to toe in the speakers to your listening position and move them a bit in front and see if it makes any difference.

Is that a sub placed in the front of the right speaker?

Yes its a sub from my onkyo setup its very rarely used. Will try to move the speaker's
