SWL Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 What dimensions would you build your room for a perfect two-channel listening room? What materials? Speakers on the long wall or the short wall? Etc, etc.[emoji4] Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 maybe 25x30... kpt535b's on the short wall... with a upward sloping roof towards the back wall. I've often wondered what a semi round back wall would do the presentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I've wondered what a planetarium would sound like. Probably no imaging at all though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 For 2-Channel: 25x40x(≥15 for point source, 8 for arrays and planars) speakers at ~8 feet out from the 40 foot wall. For multi channel: 40x60x ≥15 center channel at least 8 feet out and 3 feet off center of the 40 foot wall. All dimensions expressed in feet. Poured concrete floor (Spancrete if lofted), filled cinder block or ICF at least 8 feet up, plush carpeting. Heavy drapes at least 8 feet up. Hung acoustic panels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 5 hours ago, Schu said: I've often wondered what a semi round back wall would do the presentation. Concave or convex? If concave, there would be a focal point somewhere in the centerline of your room. That wouldn't be good. Perhaps some diffusers on the rear wall... like Studio C at Blackbird Studios in Nashville. Love the QRDs... the look is soooo cool. Here's a link to the article on George Massenburg and the design (fairly old at this point) http://www2.digidesign.com/digizine/dz_main.cfm?edition_id=101&navid=907 .

Marvel Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hopefully, they have good filters on the A/C. The article says there are 40 tons of MDF in the finished product. A faulty sprinkler system could turn it into a huge puddle of goo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
