Sorry to hear you were put out of the house, so to speak.
BUT look at the better sound room...
A 30x40x9 room is huge. The numbers aren't real good. Have to do a lot of treatment. Sound like an echo chamber, ay?
14x25 is better. Still kinda narrow and a tad to long. If you bass trapped 3 foot from the front wall, Heavy Heavy curtains will work too. then moved the speakers about midway (forward) in the 22 feet that were left.
Seated position (about 8-12 feet from rear wall) almost between the speakers. 2-4 feet from the side walls. You should be able to see the front baffle facing forward (no toe-in), with a head turn. Then move them toward the front wall. Once there (about half way). They just go away, the speakers disappear.
Then the toe-in, camber (optional) and caster. Just like aligning an 18 wheeler analog style from the 5th wheel position (not the driver's seat). With string, a measuring tape, and some KNOWN heights. Takes about a day after a few measurements.. Takes about 20 min for the speaker to settle, after each move.
The only thing better is open back or Ampa Style. Can get pretty big
then...Not trapping and treating all the unwanted noise..Timing, is the only real issue for me. Getting it to arrive at the seated position at the right time..No back or side walls.. things clean up pretty nice.. High back convex wicker chairs work the best, that all the rear wall you need.
Could work in your new room also... The chair... Good wicker has a neet sound... I been using a mimosa tree to break up the HF crap in the back yard... With a wicker chair.. yup yup...
Regards
