Listening Room


Hello to all,

I think this is a situation many audiophiles find themselves in: That being your listening room is NOT a dedicated room that your expensive audio system resides in. You do NOT have a chair that is perfectly positioned in between speakers to optimize your listening enjoyment. Why? The room simply cannot accommodate a chair in the center or, most likely, your wife and/or significant other will not allow you to place a chair where it's supposed to be when listening.

Having said that, you listen to music from everywhere in the room. How does one go about speaker placement? How do you increase the sound stage? Are some speaker brands better than others when you do not have a dedicated listening room? Thanks for your input.

huh? 

when I first posted my virtual system, someone suggested I sell photos of my feet, not give them away free. guess they didn't look too closely, I've had 9 foot surgeries.

one of the most comfortable chairs in the world is the Laz Y Boy in my brother's basement!!!!!!!! I would never have one here due to appearance, but 

Never liked headphones as an alternative. Omnidirectional speakers might help a bit, but most sacrifice other aspects for this ability. There are better omni speakers than Ohm but they can get pricey. 

Thanks indeed. Your behaviour here seems to almost return back to respect of others...

@mahgister  , did I ever begin a post by referring to someone as a "coward liar" or an "idiot" or accuse them of "hatred"?  I can only think of one such thread where I may or may not have used insults that were similar (but not the same), and it was quite some time ago; and at the time I was responding to a pot calling what was not a kettle black.

With that aside, since you appear to be curious as to why I am (or was) interested in whether the OP of this thread is the persona once known as JerryG123, it is because as I remember him in that form, he was an accomplished audiophile.  Meaning that if they are one and the same, this thread is a put on (for I do not know what reason), but I wasn't going to waste my time (which I am doing anyway) relating my experiences trying to extract satisfying sound in an imperfect environment. 

And it is possible that I am mistaken and that the similarity between jgjg123 and JerryG123 is simply a coincidence.  But as Brad Pitt told Michael Fassbender , in the movie The Counselor, about the cartel people (and this may be somewhat of a paraphrase) , "They have heard of coincidences, but they don't believe in them."  And I am inclined to feel the same way about this one, but I was simply checking and double checking to be sure. 

Greetings,

I have no clue who JerryG123 is and I really don't care. I simply can't believe how a simple question can take so many different paths to answer. I am like most people (I think) who spend time on this site. Just looking for advice and intelligent feedback. 

Thanks to everyone kind enough to offer suggestions. 

All is well.................
