A warm welcome to AudioCircle Mr. Mteinum.

Nice set up you've got there.
The speakers are not in the listening position,
there are too close to the back wall ?

That is a lovely room. Touches of modern, mid century modern, clean lines and coordinated white components.

I don't often see white OB speakers, cool implementation!

I am feeling that orange wallpaper too!

Indeed. Great room

Isn't the highly-reflective floor a problem?

I have a similar floor which gives some nice bass bounce.

The guy makes his first post here showing off his beautiful room and system and you're telling him "You're doing it wrong".

mteinum, Your room is spectacular, and speakers/system look great!

Where I come from it's called a question. Big deal. So touchy! Yeah, the room is fantastic, and the speakers look great, but this site is about, I thought, sound. What's the harm in asking about reflections off the floor? What, that's not a concern? That's not telling the OP he's "doing it wrong"---it's not telling him anything, it's asking him something. Not a legitimate question? I disagree.

I wasn't talking about your post.

@Guy 13

Thanks!

It sure helps dragging them out on the floor when playing music. It's the wife thing also... Right now they are 1.5 m out from the back wall. Great bass, very open sound.

@mcgsxr

Used to have the fullrange and tweeter in some white Dallas II horns. White is quite popular here in scandinavia when it comes to interior

@stlrman

Yes! 2x21mm MDF on the baffle / base. No problem with festool tracksaw / router.

@bdp24

A bigger bass trap (sofa) is ordered. I think there will be a larger carpet on the floor soon. It's not too bad right now, but it will never be studio quality in this room. One more thing, the picture lies

I have used a 11mm lens, it looks bigger than real life.

Here is a measurement of the bass section from listening position (with different x-over values on the FirstWatt B5)

Right and wrong. Well, I'm open for tips and tricks making the best out of it.
