The ideal auditorium? Blank canvas
Waryn, The wall construction that I described was from the HT room in my former home. Those walls were, unavoidably, parallel. However, that formulation can be done at reasonable cost (depending on the materials chosen) and it sounds and looks great. It's even better visually for in-wall speakers. If you want to consider double duty for 2ch/HT use (main L/R on the floor, center/ back/sides/subs in-wall), I'd probably do it that way even if the walls weren't parallel. For a strictly 2 channel room with non-parallel walls, maybe it's overkill. Marty |
Ok, what do you think of this first plan? - The original Golden Trapagon appeared too big for me, so I have reduced the horizontal dimensions by 25%... but now, it appears too small, doesn't it? What do you think? |
Waryn, I suspect that you'd regret not enlarging that floorplan. If you start with a minimum width of +/-425 and go from there, you'll probably be closer to the mark. You can probably get away with less flare to the side walls (smaller maximum width) if that is helpful. BTW, if that's record racking behind the speakers, I'd also suggest that you stagger the depth of the racks, pulling some sections closer to the listener than others. IME, this is a great wall treatment. Similarly, you may want to put some racks (or decorative pilasters) flanking the doorway on the wall behind the listener. Finally, while the ceiling arrangement looks good, you can also get away with drop panels of varying depth if that proves easier/cheaper. Good luck Marty PS If you haven't purchased the subwoofers yet, you may wish to consider this approach: http://www.audiokinesis.com/product_ak_swarm.html I'd give Duke (the manufacturer of this system) a call to discuss. He's a very good guy who participates here regularly. |
