Dedicated room suggestions


Hi all. I have an unfinished room that is 13x16.10. 
My system is a Cary Audio Tube amp, DMS650 streamer and DAC. And my very large Klipsch Cornwall IV speakers. 
I’m new to the game and looking for suggestions regarding layout and room treatments. Wondering if the speakers should go on the 13’ wall or the other way around. And any acoustic panels that can enhance sound, how many and where should they go?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have Crites speakers which are about the same dimensions and efficiency  I have been tweeking my system for 3 years.  Slowly and surely I have improved the sound.  My room is 12 × 21.  That is about the minimum width.  Here are some suggestion:

1.  Keep dimensions from sidewall and back wall different.  I  found the center of the speaker to measure during setup.  They are toed in to intersect behind my head. I would not put them against the back wall.  

2.  Room treatments.  Most important are the sidewalls.  I have 2 bass traps but am told a couple more would help.There are several good companies.  

3.  Speaker isolation.  I  bought springs on Amazon.  A very nice improvment.  You can spend much more.

4.  Lower noise floor on streaming system.

5.  It is best to keep equipment behind speakers or somewhere else.

I enjoyed a number of great comments and responses here. I can only add something I saw on Amazon (yuk) of all places. Acoustic curtains. They were VERY inexpensive and SAID to have many good sound enhancing qualities. As an apartment dweller I might look into a couple of those. If y look into their clams they are NOT just for soundproofing and even if they were, the same things that enhance sound proofing are good qualities for SOME sound enhancements in a listening environment.

@chiadrum 

you are new to the game?​​​​​​ Your gear is too serious to be new. :)

You've got great dimensions to start out with. Use the Bolt-area calculator to help.

 

@grislybutter yeah I pretty much went all in. I have no intention of trying out a thousand different options and obsessing over every nuance, losing 20k in the process. I wanted power, bass, speed, realism. Huge, room filling sound. It's all there in my present system. Now to maximize results :)

I initially thought that I would spend far less, but to my ears the difference between a setup like mine (lower 5 figures) and the 5-10k system was a night and day situation. So I dove in head first. I did get everything at fairly substantial discounts. Cary Audio and their sales are hard to beat. I heard a killer Primaluna amp, but found out that production is in China. That was a no go for me .Especially with the chance to support a business that is 20 minutes from me.
