Proper Room Designs/Dimensions for Best Acoutics

Keep asking.

Handy - if you have any good audio stores near you, you might want to take a look at what works for them.

One audio store I frequent that appears to have a very good setup for their very expensive systems - has one room as follows

- 16ft x 30ft with a 9-10 ft ceiling
- the speakers are positioned across one 16 ft wall
- they are approximately 7-8 ft from the wall behind them
- the listening position is around 8ft from the other 16ft wall

They are using the massive Sonus Faber's.

They appear to use very little in the way of sound absorbing panels or bass traps - other than carpeted floors and pictures on the walls.

Imaging is the best I've heard

Hope that helps

panels

I live close to Nashville and my dealer also has a great listening room. They have a couple of panels on the walls, with a trayed ceiling and some corners that are 45 degree angles, instead of 90's. I have heard Wilson speakers, with Martin Logan's sitting right beside them and am amazed how good the sound is. They have a lot of concrete also, covered with carpet etc. People with basements for sound rooms, have no idea how lucky they are-specially, if they play vinyl.
