Question regarding placement of equipment in my living room, please advise.

Hello all, I'm trying to make my living room multi functional as a home recording studio as well as a living room. I just bought a new Yamaha S90ES and will have to rearrange things to make room for it. My living room is where I will be doing some recording (until I find a better place I can work on treating for sound), mixing, and entertaining. Here's my space, but just not sure the best way to place my keyboard and desk. I will have my monitors (Maudio BX8A's) on the computer desk. Please offer any suggestions/opinions.
Thanks!

I'm no expert on room treatment and studio design but I know that speakers should face down the length of a room so on that basis I'd say .jpg 2 would be better. They should be as central as possible too. You don't want them coming out of a corner or facing across the shorter width of a room.

You should try posting this in the studio building and display forum, that's where the studio design guys hang out.

I did post in that forum, with another option, but regarding the monitors being placed in a corner, that may be a problem with my new design proposal. Hopefully someone can help me out with that.
Thanks!

If you have one speaker in a corner, and another speaker that is not in a corner, the one in the corner will have greater bass reproduction, and it will seem louder. Unbalanced. Try to keep each speaker equal distance from walls.
