It is interesting lately to think about a new listening room
as a concept. We looked at a few good house that for this or that reason did
not work for us and one had a very good listening room, just a phenomenal location
in the house. A tall cathedral ceiling with great view from window (Amy likes
to look at a lake), connected to rest of hour with wide open plan …but the room
itself is too small: 20 by 24. The 24xby24 room with open floor and cathedral
top is not a bad room. However, I invision now a slightly different duty for
the room.
I have 5 requirements for my listening room now.
1)
It has to accommodate (to seat) 6-8 listeners
2)
It has to have “no compromise” one listening chair
in the “sweet spot”
3)
It has integrate the “Opera room” via large screen
drop
4)
It has to have a side-located fireplace
5)
It has to accommodate 10-14 social room visitors
6)
It has to have plenty room for no audio time
spending, including kids playing.
7)
It has to accommodate piano and Amy’s quarters
events
So, playing with various scenario of furniture and speakers position
I concluded that my new listening room has to be around 26 by 34. Thai is a typical
of typical American 3-cars garage and many people build a “great room” above
the garage. |
