As long as the room is symmetrical you will be fine. Non-
symmetrical rooms are a lost cause though, abandon all hope.
Overcoming ba(e)droom accoustics
Room & Measurements: 1drv.ms/1Tu3mHK
I did exactly what I set out *not* to do with my stereo, I ignored the accoustic limitations of my room. I'll take recommendations however I'd appreciate direction more as to stay out of trouble in the future. "Give a man a fish.."
I live with the parents, the room doubles as bedroom/office. Stereo doubles for day/night listening. Concert levels not needed, approaching 85db the room sets the tone & degrades the sound.
I am thinking high-efficiency for wider volume range(avoid tuning for thermal compression?) narrow-dispertion/horns/dipoles as methods to negating sidewall reflections.
Limitations are budget($3500 max, no minimum,) speakers must be out in the room, room cannot be treated. Music preferences demand full frequency range, wide range of genres. I am willing to rebuild my stereo. Current components in play: Ultra Fi DAC, Triode Lab EL84 10W, FAL Supreme S.
Advice?

You can spend another $2500.00 & NOT get the same impact a few hundred dollars of treatment will give!Why can't the room be treated?There is 2 way tape that can easily be removed without damaging the walls.It won't take much,corner traps & an echo trap up high,first reflection point & something behind & in between the speakers. |
Have you viewed my picture of the room? This site may load better:http://imgur.com/8mZZ0qo None of the doors/closet/dressers can be blocked. Other than what can be seen in the picture there is a mirror just left over the dresser. Behind the camera is entirely bed give some space each side. There is a window on the back wall. I can provide further pictures if necessary. I’m assuming space limitations count out treatment; between left speaker/wall there is just enough room to walk into the room. |
