Thanks Steve,
This will make my window work a lot easier. :)

Cool, now - are you splaying your glass for light reflection/glare control, or for sound reflection control, or just 'cause it LOOKS cool? Steve

Thanks Steve,
I’m aware of the article and have read it a couple of times, a lot of great info.
We had discussed about this in the Acoustics forum and had decided to splay my glass towards the ceiling (in the CR) because I will NOT be soffit mounting my main speakers.
There will be sconce lighting directed up towards the ceiling (close to the front of the room), so light reflection will not be a problem.

Anyhow, the distance between the glasses is wide (average being about 13”).
Personally I think glasses would look cooler being straight. :)
…Nonetheless, way cooler being splayed. :wink: :lol:
