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 literally moved across the street from one townhouse to another who's only difference is an unfinished lower level that I intended to become a stereo / play room. As the rest of the townhouse was identical, we just told the movers to put everything in the same place - they were a little perplexed. They also had a hard time figuring out "them wierd speakers" (ML-SL-3's) that were to go down in that unfinished room.
One we moved in I had dedicated electrical circuits installed, outlets everywhere, a wet bar, and the whole none yards to make the room self sufficient for long listening sessions.
It worked out fairly well as you can see from the system photos.
Every rented home and later every purchased home had to meet certain criteria for audio during my marriage of 32 years. IMO, not doing so shows a lack of intelligence and taking charge of your life. If you love music enough and want it to remain central to your life you should give it the consideration it deserves. I do feel for audiophiles that live in areas where rental/purchase costs prohibit being so selective. I've been lucky to live where housing has always been plentiful, spacious and affordable.
Well I don't move for the system, but that was one of the requirements I wanted a room away from the main house to watch tv and something bigger to let me move the speakers around.

Wow learned alot. I use to have the speakers along side a cabnet they were being sucifficate. When I moved theym to a bigger room with air around them I was hearing thengs I never heard before.

If I ever move again it will be a requirnment.
didn't move to improve it but listening room was a huge factor in choosing a new home when i moved for other reasons
Not moved to suit my stereo, but selected my apartment based on reproduction of sound quality. I went from a 13' by 31' (Living room foyer) listening room with a hardwood floor and CONCRETE underneath to a 12' by 21' with a all wood floor underneath. Over time you get used to it, but at times I miss the bass.
