I think in the realm of integrated listening and living rooms
with full stack 7-ch installation and 40Hz bass horn I did accomplish a very commendable
thing. You will hardly fine a listening room out there that would be as living-friendly
as mine ...

So, from here you have to find a house that has an otherwise acceptable room that looks like this? Or is this the case where you start from scratch? There has to be a "safer" way to try for mid-bass if you start from scratch?
Best regards,
Paul...

Yes, there is no substitute for space. A related consideration it that some useful rooms (like bedrooms, library, etc.) need to be away from the influence of the Music Room, so those who wish it can do something else while Music is being played. Ag...

We closed the house last week and as now painters are going
over house and repaint if. Wify went super creative with colors but she left my listening room alone and
wants me to do whatever I want. I used different simulators but still do not
have...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]I predict in the long run you will have better Sound with a hardwood floor. Of course it will require some adjustments but that was my experience when I made this change years ago. Much easier for cleaning etc. too. Rather...

Romy, I re-read your comments a few times to better understand your feedback. I think you are saying the effects of my room may be dominating any problems with the Edgarhorn bass, or at least I can't know since I don't have any objective data. Is t...

I am a big room buffoon. I like to see and hear a room and I like to walk around and "test" it. Sounds dumb but sometimes I can sit in a room and dream about what could be done to it in terms of Sound. It started around the age of 20 so at the time I...

An interesting post, Paul, thanks. It looks like my fear or bass loading of this room were not accidental. If I get this room then it would be even worse in my case. Your have solid slab floor –something that I would like to have. But this house ...

Sitting in my couch, smoking my cigar, playing Shostakovich quartets and studying my new P&S agreement I discover that it will be sad to lose this listening room. This room is small but such a capable and able for such such intimate sound tha...

[quote user="Paul S"]Mani, my first thoughts were questions, whether you want to fill the room "like headphones fill your head" or you want to aim the speakers right at your ears and "do the mixing inside your head, like headphones".[/quote]Hi Paul,M...

Since in a couple of week I will be diving into the subject of constriction of my own listening room I do pay attention of what other talks/do about their rooms. Here is the Mike Malinowski’s room trip:

On the sansui, I tried using ferrite on all the rear inputs. No change in noise level.
On the ad122, I wrapped a single large donut around the interconnects,
which are supposedly shielded, but no change in noise level. I tried
putting ferrite ...

Robin, my live venue preferences are similar to yours. I was thinking about how we deal with the sound matrix in our listening rooms, based on the variables we are presented with. I remember when I gave no thought to soundstage and little thought abo...

The appendix in the corner of my room (I think it called rotunda) is very cool thing – it is where all my equipment lives – superbly comfortable and I can’t dream for better layout of my listening room. I am not kidding. However, there is one however...

Thanks for the kind words Romy. I am enjoying taking my time with this project and getting things just right. It sure helps when there is little development involved, just duplication more or less. Development may come later as I impose my exp...

Anthony As you can see in the picture it is one Vitavox 15" per
side and the box is about 2 feet deep, so it good volume. I drive it from low
frequency Milq channel that has a line-level 63 Hertz filter. Subjectively I
feel that I would like to ro...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]Do you think it would be possible to find the proper location by using a smaller pair of speakers, and then substitute in the big horns? At least to get to a close position?[/quote]Absolutely not! The “points” or even the “zon...

Collin,I am pleased that you found my suggestions worthwhile.
I approached the issue of your music room with two questions in mind:1- How to avoid the structural angle from interfering with the sound2- Would an enlarged room be worthwhile...

Embarrassed to say that I just now thought about the 11' 1" X 11' 1" dimensions. This is generally not a good start, to say the least. I'll leave it for you to do the math and/or the measurements. This might be a case where you could benefit from ...

Hi Romy and othersI am in the initial stage of planning a new home, which will have a dedicated music room. I noticed Romy in another thread you were impressed with the rough stone walling. This looks like a great way to disperse reflections. What I ...

[quote user="oxric"]Whilst as Romy points out, the room might well be on the small side, it has a very high ceiling (say 4.5 m) that in my mind always presents fabulous opportunities. [/quote] I have a second opinion about the size of the room. My in...

[quote user="rowuk"]In live music, we have intermodulation. Two trumpets or a trumpet and oboe playing together create sum and difference tones that change depending on pitch interval for instance. For music in major keys, this intermodulation is add...
