Help needed - Trying to find the best place before running Dirac.

Hey Guys,

Just got a new house and I'm trying to figure the best place for my L+R. I'm using a spare bedroom 11x13x9. Doesn't matter what I do I always get a null. I only have 2seating positions and I'm using 4 subs. I just wanted to get the best position overall before running any sort of calibration tool since Dirac will not perform any miracles. I can't move the seating position but I might have some wiggle room to play with my towers. We get so attached to having the flattest line in REW that is a rabbit hole with no end.

The processor is an Arcam AV41 with Dirac and Bass Management and every time I finish all the positions I just can't find the best crossover for my speakers.

The REW screenshot is both L and R from both listening positions without any calibration. The speakers are 1723 S Towers from Arendal.

Looks like a very reverberant room. There is room simulation software in REW that might help model the space but looks consistent with front/rear wall bounce/cancellation as a first guess.

Can you help me to identify that please? I have some 4x2 and 4 inches thick acoustic panels.
