Buconero:
Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the tip.
Room for discussion?
I might move the stereo to a new room. Are these good dimensions, sonically?

Buconero: Checking into that book a little bit, it's 576 pages long and sells for 45 bucks. The reviews on Amazon are uniformly positive and the author appears to be held in high regard. My guess is that after reading a book like this, I'd really know a lot more about loudspeakers (assuming I could understand what he's saying). But that may be just a teensy weensy bit of an overambitious reading task for someone like me, who has very little time even for listening. So, are you aware of anything more.....condensed? |
Jim Smith's Get Good Sound is pretty quick and easy reading, I would recommend it. Can you put the speakers on the 155" wall? 125" is a little narrow for my blood. I would say, curtain the windows in the back (by my design), place the speakers about 3' into the room, 8' apart and toed in slightly to start. Put your equipment on one of the side walls, amp between the speakers - one long interconnect and shortish speaker cables. You may end up wanting room treatments in all four corners. feel free to contact me if you would like more help |
If your speakers are to big to move there for a trial,maybe you can try a smaller pair in your present and new room.Use a receiver or something basic to compare the rooms sonic signature.You might get a starter idea of what the room might sound like (big flaws).The size alone is hard to go on.The materials,those built in items could really play games with the sonic characteristics.A trial with a spare system,if you have one couldn't hurt. |
Buff, Thanks for the tips. Could I just have the room that YOU'RE using for that absolutely gorgeous virtual system of yours????? Yes, I can put the speakers along the long wall. Hifitime, That's a good idea that I hadn't thought of. Not sure whether it will be possible to do or not. Although not huge, the speakers I have ARE heavy, with granite cabinets. Thanks, guys! |
