Post Subject: Hypothetic abstract perfect listening room?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 5/30/2012

I had a few days ago a conversation if I even move out from my current listening room. The conversation was purely hypothetical and it led me to think about hypothetic abstract perfect listening room.

I very much enjoy my current listening room and the room has a lot that might be understood only using this actual room. Still the subject of perfect listening room is very interesting. As we look and evaluate listening rooms we always bind themselves to the specific incoming conditions – price, existing real-estate, etc… However, what would be a perfect listening room if there is no limits, there is no cost boundaries and there is no restriction in real-estate on any kind? I am taking about a hypothetic room for Macondo-like topology built from scratch and no holds barred?

I have seen a number of build from scratch listening room and I am not a big fan of any of them. I have seen some very good sounding rooms but there were not the rooms that consider “abstract perfect listening room” as my definition of perfection implies an organic incorporation of listening and living facilities. I have seen one VERY smooth installation were speaker were hidden in the columns in the middle of the room with church-line arches going to the ceiling. It was very slick but it was not applicable to Macondo- topology or to any horn-loading topology.

Honestly I do not have any need to think about it but I do have pleasure to think about the absolute perfect listening room as a concept. As the concept I would like to inherit many features that my current listening room has but of cause to be “absolute perfect” it would be probably slightly different room configuration.
