Post Subject: Room dimensionsPosted by KLegind on: 1/4/2010

I am a big room buffoon. I like to see and hear a room and I like to walk around and "test" it. Sounds dumb but sometimes I can sit in a room and dream about what could be done to it in terms of Sound. It started around the age of 20 so at the time I really had no idea about what I was doing. Actually it wasn't that dumb and it helped me distinguish features of the room from those of the components.
Now, I could not help noticing that 2 Good Ears' mentioned the size of the room: 60 square meters. Then, look at the pic of the complete system. Lets say the speakers are 1.2 meters wide and the distance between then is the same, all in all 3.6 m. Allow for a few inches to the side walls and lets be generous and say 4 m wall to wall. This adds up to a whopping 15 meters long room (assuming its rectangular). How about those pipe resonances...? I have never experienced such a room, but it might have big problems, OR it could yield super interesting sound.

My own room is 12-13 feet wide and 21 feet long with high ceiling. First I thought there'd be big problems but its way better than any of my previous rooms. Much depends on how you manage those standing waves.

Happy New Year
