[QUOTE="Jason Willemse, post: 961080, member: 18958"] Hi Andre. As stated by Drifter, the Cardas method is more than just the triangle, but also to do with the space outside of it. It?s true... the Cardas method is practically impossible to implement unless you have a dedicated room. Speakers and listening position are pulled right out into the centre of the room. It really does work incredibly well, but much of the theory is thrown out the window if one cannot apply all the measurements. In your instance, the perfect triangle may or may not have much affect. In my experience, side walls are too often disregarded due to physical limitations, but are horrible for your soundstage and accuracy. If you have no option, invest in good absorption on these walls at the reflection points. Did you break the rules? No - not at all. Each room is different, as is each persons sonic preference. A tweak in position that improves one aspect usually compromises another. Cardas positioning makes this less of a factor, and is hard to come back from once you get used to it. If it?s not a dedicated space, fret less and relish in your current audio happiness! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
