I currently have my sub placed in the left right corner of my room behind a horse of a rear projection tv. The principle viewing area is a sofa pressed against the rear wall which is 14 feet away from the front wall. The sofa has a space of approx 2' between it and the left wall. I have heard the with subs that "near field" placement produces a good effect, but generally "near field" refers to placing the sub a few feet behind the listener in the posts I have read. In this case the sub would be tucked in just to the left of the listening space in the left rear corner. Would it make sense to try placement of the sub between the sofa and the left wall at the rear? Would this have any negative effective on the perceived soundstage? In essence the sub placement would be directly underneath the left rear surround which is approx 8-9' above the floor in that corner. Because of the limitations of the room and the size of tv I think these are about the only two places I can place the sub. I kind of expect the replies will be along the lines of try it out, but I was hoping for opinions before disrupting my otherwise happy household on another potentially fruitless project.
