But what about the opening and hallway to my right and left? Would I not lose a lot of sound?

I see now, I revisited your first post.....I was unaware of how your layout was.

What about turning the room around, and have the seating against the opposite wall you plan on?

Haha, with that under consideration would you then advise getting monopoles?

Yeah, seeing your room layout now, that's the way to go.

How should they be positioned/angled?
