Room for discussion?


I might move the stereo to a new room. Are these good dimensions, sonically?

Best to check out Floyd Toole's "Sound Reproduction"' book before you go any further. It will make your changes easier.
Buconero:
Checking into that book a little bit, it's 576 pages long and sells for 45 bucks. The reviews on Amazon are uniformly positive and the author appears to be held in high regard. My guess is that after reading a book like this, I'd really know a lot more about loudspeakers (assuming I could understand what he's saying). But that may be just a teensy weensy bit of an overambitious reading task for someone like me, who has very little time even for listening. So, are you aware of anything more.....condensed?
Jim Smith's Get Good Sound is pretty quick and easy reading, I would recommend it.

Can you put the speakers on the 155" wall? 125" is a little narrow for my blood.

I would say, curtain the windows in the back (by my design), place the speakers about 3' into the room, 8' apart and toed in slightly to start. Put your equipment on one of the side walls, amp between the speakers - one long interconnect and shortish speaker cables.

You may end up wanting room treatments in all four corners.

feel free to contact me if you would like more help
