House buying and the aspiring audipihile


I’ve been looking for homes in the south. Final destination to be determined.

One of the features I’d like to have is decent potential for a great listening room, and doing so has made me feel like a true rare breed. What I mean is, it is so rare to find a room I think would work great for music. There’s a fireplace, or windows or odd shaped living room to throw off my aspirations.

What I’m reminded of, again, is how very very different the average consumer’s listening room and priorities are compared to audiophiles or moviephiles.  It is clear to me that if you want to be a very successful speaker maker you need to make speakers which still sound good even as they vanish.

Asvjerry,

Good to "connect" with you.  I did join the Carolina Audio Society, but I suspect it'll be a while till we meet "in person".

No bumper stickers on either of our cars!
OMG, had forgotten about the Mellow Mushroom!!! I used to live in Atlanta and we had them. 
House hunting, give serious considerstion to North Carolina and South carolina


Well this is for work so I really don't get to pick. If it were my choice, and I could get Amazon/Instacart and Grubhub, those NC mountain lodges for $200K are amazing.
Another type of speaker I'm surprised more people didn't mention is the 2.5 way.

Tweeter, mid-woofer, woofer.

Small, Not very deep, easy to put down.
