Potential new room, will this work well?


My parents are house hunting and I found a great place with a connected second building that is 40 ft by 24 ft with 11 ft ceilings......speakers will almost certainly be Vandersteen 5A. The room may be made 8 feet smaller to add a small second room for tools wich will extend across entire short wall. Thanks

Yes, looking at your Freq charts...your problems do look fairly EQ friendly. Your screen is very large, I can see the placement issues you may have with the side walls.

Still, nothing "that" major to deal with IMO. Aren't we lucky to have a wife that lets us play like this!

Dave,

Very lucky (I have a lot of friends who have no luck, none at all! Instead their wives have all the luck...).

I decided to buy the cheap Behringer Ultracurve Pro DEQ2496 just to pursue the idea of more expensive analog room correction in the future. The DEQ2496 is significantly cheap enough ($300 or so), considering all the options and features, to be a worthwhile experiment in my system. It also has an analog bypass so if the digitization sounds bad, adds some kind of digital hash noise, or hums, etc, I can just bypass it and only use it to get a sense of whether or not I will like the FR improvements. If everything goes well, I'll consider a permanent solution later on that is higher in quality (if this one has significant short comings) like one of the analog GMLs and retire the Behringer to my recording gear setup.
I can't do anything about nulls without an EQ, so aside from those the only really bad thing is that bass hump due to mode reinforcement. It is around +15 dB... Ouch!
