Brad, lovely room and system you have there.Hi Gryphon,
I just stumbled across your thread and I don't know where you have gone with it.
The room I have is 24' x 16' x 9'-6". I built bass traps around the ceiling wall intersection and I am very happy with the result.
I listen the long dimension. Speakers are 6' from the front wall and 7'-6" apart.
My seat is aprox 12'-6" from either speaker.
I will look for a couple construction pics.
Let us know what your decide
I'm currently working on it (while busy juggling other) & have been working on setting up streaming. I'm confident my best sound will come from setting up along the longer wall for near-field & am waiting on material to treat the room.Gryphon, how is progress coming with your room?
In case you've not already tried, you should be able to plug an iphone or ipad your into the usb on the Ruby and stream to your dac. Works on the front panel usb of the SA8005 I use as a transport. Sound is surprisingly good, the popular Eversolo ME as a pure streamer was no better. Easy way to get up and running while researching other options.I'm currently working on it (while busy juggling other) & have been working on setting up streaming.

I'm using a Mytek DAC+ with a SOtM streamer w/pwr.supply, MeLE Roon w/2TB & Tidal, but will be interesting to try that, thanks!In case you've not already tried, you should be able to plug an iphone or ipad your into the usb on the Ruby and stream to your dac.

I'm actually working on setting up what I want on the walls (such as a Sgt. Pepper's blanket) before I run the EQ Wizard. Finally have streaming setup. Now it'll take some time to work on the room acoustics & moving things around the room. Just by listening I can hear that the room is too bright & needs taming. As far as both walls, after the Room EQ Wizard is run & treatment applied I'll take the 2 different setups & determine which I prefer. My understanding now is, that the setup against the long wall could cause some bass issues. Other than listening, this IS the fun stuff!I'm curious if you are going to consider (both) Long walls during your placement evaluation?
Might as well.
If possible, taking some kind of room acoustics related measurements will be beneficial in confirming which placement actually is better than the other.
