Do you have a dedicated listening room?


Is your system in a room by itself or do you have to make compromises with other things in the room?

How have you compromised with things you have to keep in the same room? Right now I use a basement room for my listening room. 75% of the room is just for the system, but behind and to the right of my listening chair is a weight bench and some other work-out gear. I don't think it affects the sound very much, but...

No dedicated room and how it sounds as good as it does amazes me. The few times I've moved everything out of the way for a totally unobstructed listening session haven't yielded day & night results, so for now I can live with it.

Yes,
It was a prerequisite when buying my last home..
Here is the link... everything from the flooring to the
insulation in the ceiling as well as the wiring was done with audio in mind..
Well, the fact that I own an audio company helps justifying
the cost!
here is the link for the room and system

It is definately a worthwhile investment if you do alot of listening!
Happy listening!

I have a dedicated listening room which i dont use yet.

Nrchy, you know what happened.

I recently decided to buy the house im renting, we dont spend much time in the basement, and it is of a moderate size. So where the bitchin HT i sold was set is where my "Dedicated Audio room" will be.
It will be a mix of 2 ch and HT. gotta use the projector, i dont want anything between my 2ch speakers.

im thinking of building it up to resemble your typical low ceiling smokey jazz bar.

that will rock.
I have a dedicated listening room that is also dedicated to DirecTVing, TIVOing, sleeping, computing, and well...
I have a dedicated HT/listening room. The room measures 20x16 with 12' ceilings. 48 custom sound treatment panels on the walls (thanks to RIVES for the info). The equipment is housed in a custom cabinet built into the wall with access to the rear from a storage area. Nothing between the main speakers but a center channel sitting on a small stand. All the walls are insulated with a "floating" layer of drywall behind the accoustic panels. The room is decorated to look like a theater. The sound of the room is so amazing in two channel that when I have people over they swear that the surround sound is on. I have to prove to them that it's not by turning off all the amps but the main amp. System is used mainly for two channel.
