When applying Golden Mean ratios to a space which will be the height of almost two stories, and with a trapezoidal-shaped gable, how should one proceed? Isa there any issue with the aural "stage" being glass (except of course for the 3-feet for the "virtual horn"? How does one decide whether baffles--on walls, in gable, suspended from gable--should be installed? Thanks!

Prior to completing the attic-space (1990) of my 1920's English Tudor home, I sent the architectural plans to Mr. Klipsch, who--most graciously--reviewed them and offered recommendations. In 1992, the involvements resulting from my underlying Cerebral Palsy were complicated with cervical stenosis, so that I no longer walked. I have now decided that it's time to relocate my music room--including my set of 1966 Klipschorns!--again on the main level of my home. Unfortunately, despite having had both my personal attendants thoroughly search everywhere, I cannot locate, regrettably, the Reprints of the many articles and papers which Mr.Klipsch had sent me in late Winter,1966. I wondered if: 1. might someone having said Reprints e-mail me scanned copies, 2. might folks here discuss room dimensions, volumes, and shapes (e.g.,should dimensions conform to Golden-Mean ratios? if so, how're these affected by a vaulted ceiling, or are they?), 3. should any surfaces be covered with hangings, or other absorbent materials, No modifications have been made to the Klipschorns. Are any recommended? In the 70's, my Cornwall was stolen. I'm thinking it's finally time to restore a center channel. What considerations should one entertain in deciding which Klipsch model to purchase? Optimally, should the center speaker occupy the same horizontal plane as the two flanking Klipschorns? I can have someone figure--from the 1990 plans and our sketches thus far--both the characteristics of the current (upstairs) music room, and the--at this juncture--characteristics of the various spaces we've, thus far, sketched. Would this be helpful to anyone? Please advise...
