If I had the land available with my existing house I would be a listening room. Then it’s detached and the design could fit the engineering needs. Few homes have proper design.
Moved 3 or 4 times for above mentioned purpose....
Landed on a house with a huge basement that i could repurpose/redo as i please. I also looked specifically for 2 floors above so spouse can reside 2 floors above without having to be bothered by spl levels (i.e., buffer zone floor in between).
P.S
Moving house too much could cause divorce....Watch out ....
I would never give up my 26-foot diameter Futuro house because its design is so futuristic that it looks like it is from a far more advanced planet. It is big enough for Magnepan 0.7's and bigger Magnepans use pure ribbon tweeters that are more fragile than I want. With absorbers and diffusers, a Futuro is big enough.
Not a chance. The waste of extra property tax, heating and cooling, and maintenance would eat away at my peace of mind. In fact, I'm building a new house soon and it'll be in the 1800 sq. ft. vicinity. One good thing about living in areas that allow basements is that it is the ideal place for a listening room. The concrete walls are natural bass insulators and it's fairly inexpensive to make an appropriate-sized listening room.
