Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ?


Let's see how crazy we are.

That's a little hardcore for me.  I make do with what I have.  Being an audiophile is figuring these things out as best you can.  Not like a dog chasing its tail.

I downsized from a 3600 ft 1854 home with 14 ft ceilings on an acre.  It was just too big for 2 people and down to I dog from 3.  My new home has a much smaller listening room, but I am good with my set up.

Yeah, sometimes big is too big and when downsizing you are in fact normalizing and upgrading.

@inna And that’s just New England, imagine Montana or Wyoming.

Born, raised and lived most of my life in Western Montana. I built a nice home on 24 acres of timbered mountain side, backed by thousands of acres of National Forest Land. Nearest neighbors were down in the valley many acres away. The house had a large open beam living room, with great acoustics, dedicated to audio.

Would love to have that home and space back, but when you get older, man MT winters get tough.

Now retired and living in sunny AZ. I have a modest home on a couple of acres with few neighbors and managed to put together a very nice 14’x26’ audio room, so quite content for the foreseeable future.

I much discusion here about Large Room or Smaller Room.  If you had this new house, and could design your own perfect 2-channel music room - how would you size it?
