Post Subject: I hope I do not need to do for the alternative optionPosted by Romy the Cat on: 1/30/2010

Yes, Jessie, this is the direction that I am contemplating - to put up a vertical poll to support the attic main beam and to cut the 4-5 diagonal lowering beams that lead to my working triangular wall.  Also the residue of the attic roof under the cathedral roof needs to be removed. My initial sentiment was that it would be essay but not I see that it will be not, if it is ever doable.

If I get the house then I would move in, get conformation from professional roofers or architect that what I would like to do is doable. Then I would devise a detail plan for the horns and for the way how the horns would be imbedded into the house. I am planning to recruit a horn builder I know to overview the design of horn and to consult my local woodworker. Facing and accepting the task is not a problem to me if I clearly see that the project will be successful and if I have all necessary lavers to navigate the project.

The alternative option is to put the horns in the 4 large 5x7 feet windows that the opposite wall has but it has few moments that I do not like. The time-alignment is the key for me and with midbass-horns are behind the MF channels is too much delay. Second, is that I would like to preserve front wall of the listening room. There is a lot of potential in it. It has 4 huge window-doors 5x7’ that allow making the whole width of the listening room wide open to open air.  Right behind the window-doors is a deck and then a forest. I do not know how the birds singing and sound of the near stream will be compatible with my Bruckner but I very much like the idea of playback be able to operate in a virtual open air. It looks like the neighbors will be not the subject in this house as they are 1) too far 2) the cathedral room will be doing the detractively shaping and the sound will go mostly to the forest. So, I would prefer do not put the front to the front wall…

As you see, Jessie, the house is very promising and I can’t wait to start paling with that room!
