What's the size of your listening room and/or ht?


Hello!

Just curious to see how big a room (music and/or ht) some of your systems occupy. Mine is 15x20 ft used for both music and movies. Please feel free to mention if you feel this is the right amount of space or if you could use more. If you could use a bigger listening room what would you like to have (try to be realistic)? I for one could use more space...for bigger speakers of course:-) Feel free to describe anything else about your listening room that makes it so special!

SIZE DOES MATTER AFTER ALL...My ht/ solid state system is in a room that is 16 feet deep and 27 or 28 wide...
but i have to sit on the short end due to windows on one side and dining room on the other...
it has somewhat bad sound properties.. high ceilings about 22 feet high... check out my virtual system pix...
and my tube system is in a back den that is about 15 by 20...definately wish i had a larger room like 25 x 25 for the tube setup... but the ht works out nicely..
happy listening!
I'm in the process of building a new house with an optimized room. It will be approximately (I say approximately because there will not be any parallel walls or ceiling), 20 (W) x 24 (L) x 11.5 (H). These are averaged dimensions.
Rives:

Can you tell us little more about your walls or sources for information on benefits of your approach? Looking at Everest's Masterhandbook of Acoustics it seems somewhat unclear. He calls the benefit "nominal" and says "splaying walls only introduces unpredictability in listening room and studio situations."(p.281-2) I ask because I'm soon to build and have considered a similar approach. For now though, my cell is only 6x8 and they won't let me change very much.

Sincerely
I remain,
You may find it interesting to check out Martin Logan's website. They have a section that describes the construction of their reference listening room, in which they performed the final critical listening in the design of the Statement E2 system, as well as the Prodigy.
