Klipschorns all around. It will save them a bundle of cash on extra subs and bigger amps too......since the speakers are so efficient and put out gobs of tight bass.
Very BIG Room? Music and Home Theatre Challenge
Could anyone please comment on issues that come to mind when setting up audio and home theatre in a big, barn like room?
I have been asked by a friend for some advice on a soon to be renovated "great room" which will be converted from a barn that was attached to their house.
Therefore, the new room will connect with the kitchen and extend to approximately 25' wide by 60' long with 14-15 foot ceilings.
The walls are made of stone and the floor is hardwood.
At the far end of the room, there will be a new chimney and fireplace installed, and the only brief I have so far is that will do lots of entertaining in this room, have a bar, and approximately 3 different seating areas within the room, and would consider a large projection or display device over the new fireplace.
The room is naturally pretty dark, which I hope will help with the video aspect.
As a Magneplanar fan, I would like to recommend 3.6s and all the Maggie surround sound speakers, but I need to learn more about their tastes and preferences.
I do know my friend loves to watch football and tennis, so I am also thinking HDTV in a big screen format.
But any ideas for such a project would be greatly appreciated.
