@analogj , That is a TERRIBLE room for a serious HiFi. You are going to have a terrible resonance problem in the bass and lower midrange. In a room like that you would be better off with headphones.
Am I Better Off With Limited Low Frequency Speaker In A Small Room?
In my 12'x12'x11' room, am I better off with limited low frequency speakers, such as those which only extend down to 40-50hz, or will the mere introduction of a speaker that extends down to 35hz be potential for trouble (The extent of my knowledge is that lower frequencies need larger spaces to truly breathe, and the wavelength goes up exponentially). My listening space is my living room, and there's not a lot of space for room treament. I'm auditioning a single GIK Soffit bass trap. I'm not sure how much it will help.

@theaudiomaniac , Yes they are higher, right where you can clearly hear them. The best solution here is to find another room in the house or move to a place that has a decent room for audio. I lived in apartments for years with rooms that were compromised but I knew that in time I would be able to build my own house with a purpose designed media room. You never want a room with equal dimensions. They should vary as much as possible. It is important for everyone to realize this. There are times when you are forced to live with a damaged situation. Just keep it in mind for the future that the OP needs a better room if he wants the best performance. It can be small just break up the dimensions. |
