I had a 12X12 listening room (the only room the cats could not get to). To make a long story short, the best system I had in that room was a pair of Triangle Celius and tube amps. It was magical. It can be done.
Listening room ISSUES
Hi first let me introduce myself I'm new here and my name is Scott I'm 63 and I've been an audiophile all my life. I recently moved here from a place that had a dedicated listing room it was perfect 24 by 36 and a ceiling 12 ft high. Now my room is and likely will forever be 11 ft 8 x12 ft by 7 ft 8 in tall
One of the 12 ft walls has a door 3 ft from a corner and two windows in the other corner the other 12 ft wall is only 66 in Long with the other eight plus feet as an opening to a room that is 9 ft deep because of the opening on one 12'wall and a door on the other 12' wall I sit on one of the 11 ft 8 walls . I don't have the correct measuring equipment but I did go in a room calculator and a speaker placement calculator and and even where I am forced to sit I am backed up to a wall literally a foot behind my ears the room placement calculators indicate the speaker should be about 4 ft apart 4 ft from the sidewalls and about two and a half from the front wall . I I really need to draw this . Initially I was sitting against the long wall . But living in the northwest when spring came I wanted to look out the windows so now I sit on the short wall. This room has standing waves that are certainly higher than the tallest wave ever surfed. The base just overwhelms the mid-range I have tried room treatments for early reflections and The comb filtering I've been binge watching studio room treatment experts and this room breaks all the rules . My equipment is . Techniques SL-D 202 Shure M91 ED . Dennon PRA 1100 pre amp. A Dynaco VTA ST -120 I put the kit together in 2011 . Klipsch kg4 . I use a crown XLS 1502 with the internal high pass filter at 60 cycles. Running a JBL 2445 H in a DIY 12.5 cubic foot enclosure tuned to 30 cycles.
I built it for the Klipsch LaScalla that I used to use in my old place. Yes I tried the LaScalla and you can imagine how that went.
But in my defense they still sound great in the front yard.
I don't have a clue what to do. I have thought about putting my back to the open Wall but it would leave only 30" to get through but I am going to try it out if anyone thinks it's worth a shot . Thank you in advance for your help 🆘. Please excuse my typos .
