Room for discussion?


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

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
If your speakers are to big to move there for a trial,maybe you can try a smaller pair in your present and new room.Use a receiver or something basic to compare the rooms sonic signature.You might get a starter idea of what the room might sound like (big flaws).The size alone is hard to go on.The materials,those built in items could really play games with the sonic characteristics.A trial with a spare system,if you have one couldn't hurt.
Buff,

Thanks for the tips. Could I just have the room that YOU'RE using for that absolutely gorgeous virtual system of yours?????
Yes, I can put the speakers along the long wall.

Hifitime,
That's a good idea that I hadn't thought of. Not sure whether it will be possible to do or not. Although not huge, the speakers I have ARE heavy, with granite cabinets.

Thanks, guys!
Bill Hoover,
Can you provide info regarding your current room?

I have doubts about whether you'll achieve a superior musical experience in that significantly smaller room, despite the the non-parallel long walls.

Has it been determined with some reasonable amount of certainty that risers improve Stillpoint performance within The Summit context? I ask for information.

My Gamma Summit setup had all SPs resting on Granite.

I'm now using Dale's Pingoras, fwiw.
