speaker or sub nearest wall?

[cerwinmad]

hi, im new here so please bear with me!!! i have a pair of cv VE-12s and cv VE28-S sub placed either side of my screen (samsung 32inch CRT 100hz digital) along a 13 ft wall. Due to a door opening onto this wall on right hand side, the whole setup is orientated closer to the left wall. i have it setup in following order,; frontspeaker, sub, screen(with cv VE5C center on top), frontspeaker. my question is; would i be better havin the sub on the left corner closest to wall where the speaker is? i have tried it but bass was not as defined, but am worried about mid/highs been affected by speaker been close to wall. the left speaker sits about twelve inchs from side wall. i cannot increase this anymore without bringing it all closer together and affecting the screen (only center is shielded). it sounds great at moment but as you guys know, it can always be better!! Cheers and thanks. ps, yes i do have the matching surrounds!! and its powered by a Onkyo SR 503 reciever and pioneer DV 490V dvd.

an easy way for sub placement is to place the sub in the place you sit the most then walk around the room and see where it sounds the best, once found place the sub there. the sub should feel seemless in the setup as if it was not there at all.
