How do you measure your listening space?


Yes, I very carefully wrote "space" instead of "room" because my house is an open space design.  There is a large room measuring 16' x 28'.  Approximately half is a "living room" and the other half is the kitchen, i.e., no wall between.  Sound system is set up in the living room area of 16 x 14 with speakers on a 14' wall.  Listening spot is 7' away from the speakers which are 3' off the wall.

See the issue?  The total volume of space is much different from the relationship of speakers to listening spot. 

This becomes a big deal when choosing speakers/amp power etc.

Thoughts?

Listening "Volume" would be a more precise way for rooms to be compared.

Small speakers may seem lost in your space. 

What do you have now?
