J M O N Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Approximately 24' x 21' x 8' -- main speakers will be on long wall. Room will be dual-use -- music and home theater. Room is still being put together so nothing is in place yet. Room treatments will likely follow. Edited March 5, 2016 by JMON 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyrc Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Chris, are you going to analyze the room dimensions data in any way? Looking forward to it. I wonder why only about 40 people responded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Exactly. The sample size does need to be a bit larger, however. Perhaps more people will post their listening room dimensions here. I've always wondered why this information hasn't been gathered and analyzed in terms of commonly used statistical measures. Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) I am about 25w X 30d... 5.1 with LSii's for the fronts and CW's for the rears. I am amazed at how many garage systems there are here. Edited March 10, 2016 by Schu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) I count 27 different listening rooms thus far. Thanks to everyone that's participated to date. It's been pretty interesting: there seems like there are trends but I believe that we need many more data points. Perhaps our EU and other international members might also contribute. More is better, so feel free to join in. Chris Edited March 10, 2016 by Chris A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted March 10, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 10, 2016 concrete everywhere hearing lots of very uncomfortable sounds, evil sounds.... I had a HORRIBLE slap echo in my room. Adding acoustic panels solved that issue and the sound is much more intelligible now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) 24x18x11 here with a relatively open floor plan into the kitchen (via large pass-through), main hallway, and openings to two other rooms along the back wall. ~4500 cu feet considering the the adjacent rooms. Couch (main listening position) is 6 feet from the back wall. L & R are asymmetrically placed on the long wall -14 feet apart -42 degrees of toe -12 feet from the LP Center channel cross-fired pair, 9 feet from the LP. LS & RS are asymmetrically placed on the back wall -45 degrees of toe -raised with the tweeters 55" off the floor -tilted 10 degrees down -9 feet from the LP. Sub is in the left rear corner. No acoustic treatments beyond full Berber carpeting, a plush couch, and a plush reclining chair. Pic is in my profile.

Chris A Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 I've currently got about 40 responses (listening room length, width, height). The arithmetic mean currently stands at: ave. length - 21.1 ft ave. width - 18 ft ave. height - 9 ft More people would make a difference in the results. I'm currently toying with 3D plots of the data, so more data points actually increases visualization of data groupings. Please list your room size(s) (that's three numbers) if you haven't already done so. The Klipsch forum is currently beating diyAudio forum in terms of number of responses. Help make the Klipsch forum the most helpful and informative on the web by writing in your three room dimension numbers. The current goal is 100 rooms--and beating that goal by a significant amount would be most useful. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening position centered ten feet from end wall, speakers two feet out. Currently two blankets hanging at first reflection points on the side. Two rolls of R19 set in the two front corners and and a big bag of Roxul SafenSound laying against a side wall.

Moderators dtel Posted July 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 1, 2016 Just seen this. Room is 24' wide and 18' deep to that pole behind the sofa, the ceiling is sloped 18" front to back, higher end over the sofa. The beam behind the sofa ends that room but it's completely open for another 16' and a little wider than the living room, It's the kitchen, dining room. For ht, 3 forte's are mounted on the living room side of that beam pointing kind of down to the middle of the room. It works 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works I had to buy a pair of Forte to get my center speaker. so I now I have one left over. My Evids 4.2 sound good, but really low efficiency compared to the front forte. I was looking at lots of real surround speakers and just got confused. For the price of them I might as well look this year for another set of forte and I can match you. You are my hero!

Moderators dtel Posted July 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) No way, I would make a sorry hero. At first I was looking for an Academy for a center, but for that price i could just get another pair of forte's. I found 2 pair of forte ll's and later I found a pair of original fortes, over about 3 years and never did find another pair of ll's within 6-8 hour drive. I ended up using three of the ll's across the front and with the extra ll as a rear center 6.1. The rear L & R are original fortes, I love the sound of 3 identical speakers across the front and the rears are plenty close enough for a match. You can't see the sub in the pic, it's a danely spud clone and it's on the right wall next to the MWM. Edited July 1, 2016 by dtel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Thus far, I've collected 65 listening room sizes. Here is a plot of those room sizes. Visualize the points as the far corner of the room, in feet, with the other corner at the origin: The stats are: Width Length Height Volume (ft^3) Mean 17.5 22.2 8.9 3608.7 Median 16 21 8.5 3100 Mode 16 24 8.0 2688 STDEV 5.1 8.7 1.4 2505.7 Edited July 13, 2016 by Chris A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) I'm aware from mining room size data from the forum--looking at older posts where the room sizes were mentioned--that there is probably under-representation of smaller listening room sizes in this survey. It's much better to have those room sizes, too. Feel free to contribute, and especially if your room dimensions are below the statistical averages mentioned above. The idea is to get an accurate picture of this nebulous topic. Chris Edited July 13, 2016 by Chris A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
