My room really suck. I mean really, really sucks. I had a great listening room once. It was perfect. 9'x 14'4" x 22'5"! Almost a perfect 1.6 ratio room. But now I have an 8'x11.5'x16' room that is plaster walls and ceiling with hardwood floors and two large throw rugs. My ex-wife calls my old perfect listening room her livingroom now. Life suck but not as much as this listening room does......
How would you rate your listening room?
I think most people visiting Audiogon are familiar with Stereophile's equipment rating system. So, more or less using that system, how does your main listening room rate as to potential music quality? I've given this some thought, and at 14'W 22'L and 7.5'H, I'd rate my room as "B", mainly because of decent dimensions. With the addition of ASC treatment(s), which I've done, I'd upgrade it to "B+", and if I were to go to good quality monitor speakers (which I won't) with bass to about 40HZ, I could maybe upgrade the room to "A-". My room could never be full class A IMHO because of low ceiling height. I'd like 9 ft. ceilings and a 2-3 more feet of width. Also, as I like good sized near full range speakers (I have Vand. 3Asigs.), I doubt I'd be willing to go to smaller speakers. Have others thought of rating their rooms? Cheers. Craig.
