Erik,

thanks for your answer. The thing is that the speakers are rectangular to=
=20
the sides, but get terribly twisted in the final image. I am using a 21mm=
=20
lens, and the PTGuiPro application for the panos. Maybe it could be the=20
settings in the software that is causing this? Here is the same situation,=
=20
but with another setting, which I don't like due to the "bubbly" walls. On=
=20
the other hand, the speakers do look better.... Which are recommended=20
settings for smaller room interior panos?

Best, R
