After seeing the dimensions and ratings of some of the above rooms, eg Dugg's, Albert's, and Metaphysic's, I may have to re-think my own rating. I can see why Albert had to down-rate a bit-- so he could up-grade!! Duggg's is huge (I'm envious), and Metaphysics just seems to have a bit of speaker placement problem-- been there! Jazzcat, and Avguy-- guess we've all got problems of some sort. I have chickenwire around my 3As to make them catproof-- low treble is a little "wirey":>) Cheers. Craig.
How would you rate your listening room?
I think most people visiting Audiogon are familiar with Stereophile's equipment rating system. So, more or less using that system, how does your main listening room rate as to potential music quality? I've given this some thought, and at 14'W 22'L and 7.5'H, I'd rate my room as "B", mainly because of decent dimensions. With the addition of ASC treatment(s), which I've done, I'd upgrade it to "B+", and if I were to go to good quality monitor speakers (which I won't) with bass to about 40HZ, I could maybe upgrade the room to "A-". My room could never be full class A IMHO because of low ceiling height. I'd like 9 ft. ceilings and a 2-3 more feet of width. Also, as I like good sized near full range speakers (I have Vand. 3Asigs.), I doubt I'd be willing to go to smaller speakers. Have others thought of rating their rooms? Cheers. Craig.
