It's not the size, it's the dimensions. You have a room with many overlapping modes since the dimensions are even multiples. Can you chop off 3-4 feet? ;-)

A Very Narrow Listening Room
Greetings all,
First time caller.
I'm about to start a new listening room project. I'm a lucky boy! But, the room I have to work with will be 11 by 21 by 10 ft., which is not so lucky. Even I know that will present some challanges. I'm open to suggestions on room treatments, placement of speakers, types of speakers / electronics combinations...anything. I do plan on listening "nearfield", hoping that will help. I'm not new to the hobby but I AM new to this type of room.
Are there ideas out there (short of not doing it at all)?
My feeling is any dedicated listening room is better than none at all.
David

The Cardas formula is worth a shot. SEE BELOW: Speaker placement, simply stated The distance from the center of the woofer face to the side walls is: Room Width times .276 (RW x .276) The distance from the center of the woofer face to the wall behind the speaker is: Room Width times .447 (RW x .447) This is all you need to know to place speakers in a symmetrical, rectangular room!

Use one Acapella Sphaeron Excalibur and listen in mono. :) |
