Have you ever moved to improve your system


I don't mean around the room or adjusting the listening chair. Have you ever moved to a new house or apartment because it would be better for your system?

I have moved once since I found AudiogoN, but it wasn't for the sake of the listening room. I had to get out of that neighborhood.

I sincerely think that if someone has to move to improve his system, well, that person needs to take a long, long break from Audio !
Sonicbeauty, I agree with you. That being said, my wife and I are currently looking to build a new home and you can bet my audio habit figures into my requirements.
i second that bob bundus,neighbor would start slaming drawers cuboards....please.extra money for a house...so worth it.i can listen all hours at pretty healthy levels.
I rented a condo for 1 year to see if I could live there. No way. Looked around for some time and found a fair sized town home that that was made of brick. This was good until it got a little late. My current house is a nice 3 bedroom ranch with a full basement. If I do move again,the audio is always in mind.

I did, actually. I moved to this house because I wanted a better room for my stereo system. I really loved my last house, but I knew I could get better sound with a bigger room that wasn't long and relatively narrow. The room I now use doesn't seem ideal when you consider that there are wide openings on one side and the back, but, for some reason, it does produce very good sound. I did install some acoustic panels on the walls and the corners, though just enough to damp some reflections. I probably could have done better with the room, but, though the desire for a better room for the system was the reason for moving, I also wanted a house I would be happy living in. All in all, it turned out fine, even with the compromise.
