assistant
To accurately reproduce sound at home the important things to focus on are the placement of the speakers, the location of the listener, shape of the room, and the materials inside the room. Such as the placement of the speakers should follow the according setup guidelines, for example stereo speakers will be places at equal angles and height to the listener, placed a few feet away from any walls. The shape of the room, and materials define how the sound reflects in the space, with the goal being to reduce overlapping echo from flat surfaces.
