The room dimensions are 12 feet X 25 feet ... with the speakers on the long wall 6 feet from the corners.... with some serious toe in. If I am looking at the diagrams you posted correctly,the false corner doesn't need to extend too far beyond the LF section to work Ideally, the "lines of sight" for the speakers should cross slightly ahead of your listening position, according to PWK in a 1951 issue of The Dope From Hope. That may sound extreme, but it gives the widest area of stereo effect. I was dubious until I tried it with my JubScala IIs. Rather than trying to aim the speakers by measuring, it's much easier to just use a laser pointer on the tops of the LS cabinets, at the front, in the middle. They're very easy to aim correctly that way. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought high ceilings were good for that airy sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much the high ceilings as the open floor plan. It's also very hard to pressurize a room like that to give you good bass extension and dynamics. Very shouty too. You could throw a bunch of room treatment at it, but let's face it, these rooms are usually family type rooms and that's a no-no. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With more than one set of speakers to those connected rooms it gets better! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approx 8 feet to each speaker. Speakers are 12 feet apart. The speakers are toed in 45` - 60`.... somewhere is that range 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 It's the wife's b'day. No big deal... whatever you want for dinner thing. She was waffling on dinner -- which leftovers she wanted... sheesh asked her about cake. She wanted a pie. fruit pie. decides on lemon chiffon. I wonder if she will notice I used lime to "kick it up a notch"? LOL I made a pie shell and all from scratch. Pretty easy. You do use a few bowls in the process.I used 3 bowls and a pan.The table has flour from the pie shell... Still need to make whipped cream... I pretty well trashed the kitchen. Happy Birthday, Honey! Gave you a mess in the kitchen. Don't you love it? nah nah... I cleaned it up. my b'day... she asks what I want spaghetti and fresh bread. she doesn't cook spaghetti... I let her off... because I had planned on making it anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Welllll if you cleaned the mess up she's prolly pretty happy. lol Then again you do run a tight ship when ur in the kitchen. I wondered when you broke out the sawzall for the beef but you've got it in control. lol Could break out the Corona and when she asks for the lime just point to the pie. Spaghetti does sound good though. Rain coming thru for the weekend so might be the only time left to do it. Almost grill time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am looking at the diagrams you posted correctly,the false corner doesn't need to extend too far beyond the LF section to work So they are up pretty close to the back wall? if so you don't need a corner just a pony wall off to the side. Before you go to the trouble of building something beautiful just pile up some cinder blocks(CMUs). See if it is worth pursuing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezin' Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Regarding hallucinogens...if you're not in the right frame of mind it will be one of the worst decisions you'll ever make. I'm old and haven't indulged in decades but I've extensive experience with them. Not to mention like everything else technology has left it's mark on recreational drug usage. Tread lightly and be informed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 All of us freaks in the late `70s tried so much. It's a wonder I survived, probably due to getting a different liver in `01, first one finally croaked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Mornin' All was puttering around in the yard ... and because I don't like ear buds, I turn up the stereo...old fashion style. the AirForce is playing so noise restrictions are off. I've been cutting back some of the scrub mesquite trees. Stickery buggers, they are. Some worse than others. I would like to rid myself of them.... ya need a backhoe for that.They are tenacious. My usual way of dealing with them is to prune them up, into a tree form and let them grow out of my way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
