House buying and the aspiring audipihile


I’ve been looking for homes in the south. Final destination to be determined.

One of the features I’d like to have is decent potential for a great listening room, and doing so has made me feel like a true rare breed. What I mean is, it is so rare to find a room I think would work great for music. There’s a fireplace, or windows or odd shaped living room to throw off my aspirations.

What I’m reminded of, again, is how very very different the average consumer’s listening room and priorities are compared to audiophiles or moviephiles.  It is clear to me that if you want to be a very successful speaker maker you need to make speakers which still sound good even as they vanish.

Well this is for work so I really don't get to pick. If it were my choice, and I could get Amazon/Instacart and Grubhub, those NC mountain lodges for $200K are amazing.
Another type of speaker I'm surprised more people didn't mention is the 2.5 way.

Tweeter, mid-woofer, woofer.

Small, Not very deep, easy to put down.
Told my builder to give me 9' in the basement. He said, after all the drawings he could only give me 8'. Told him forget it, just sell the lot.
Got the dimensions I wanted. Just had to wait till my daughter moved out. 
Wife wanted acreage and a house. First thing I look for is a room. Room's not there, no sale. 
Oh, you meant 9 FEET.  I always get feet and inches confused.  I had totally misunderstood your entire post.
