I love Asheville! I live in Charleston where there are no basements and they love the narrow and long footprint. I converted an upstairs bedroom into my listening room and it took some work, especially the acoustics and I had to trade my tube amps in for SS because of the summer heat. Most very situation is unique to the user and most problems can be solved with a little thought, but I miss my place in the NW.
House buying and the aspiring audipihile
I’ve been looking for homes in the south. Final destination to be determined.
One of the features I’d like to have is decent potential for a great listening room, and doing so has made me feel like a true rare breed. What I mean is, it is so rare to find a room I think would work great for music. There’s a fireplace, or windows or odd shaped living room to throw off my aspirations.
What I’m reminded of, again, is how very very different the average consumer’s listening room and priorities are compared to audiophiles or moviephiles. It is clear to me that if you want to be a very successful speaker maker you need to make speakers which still sound good even as they vanish.
