Survey #4: How big is your listening area?


Colin

Recommended Posts

Lets play twenty questions. Ill go first. Trey surveyed us about the height of our TV tops, the distance from our floors to our ears and the distance from our ears to our TVs. That brings up some logical follow-up questions for me which has nothing whatsoever to do with Klipsch and Co., but is just plain curiosity on this cats part.

1. How many feet long, wide and high is the area where you sit and listen or watch TV and/or music?

2. Is the area enclosed on all four sides, or is it part of another area?

3. If so, what areas or rooms does the larger area include?

4. If so, how many feet long, wide and high is the larger area, which encompasses your listening area?

5. What is the approximate total square footage of your primary residence under air conditioning?

6. What percent does your listening or HT area represent of that total square footage?

Example

My listening area

1. My listening area is a carpeted 14 by 17 living room with popcorn painted 8 ceilings. (238 square feet, 1904 in volume).

2. The family room opens to the kitchen behind with a doorway and a pass-though window. It also opens to an enclosed porch with two sliding glass doors at the back of the room. The larger area includes the kitchen and porch, but they both open to a dining room (in a quad arrangement).

3. So the total area is 743 sq. feet.

4. The approximate total square footage of my residence under air conditioning is 1700.

5. So the family room is about 14% (238/1700) of the house, while the total listening area is 43%
