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.

My room used to suck big time due to a very odd shape and open space into the hall on one side and another room without wall on the other side, not to mention high and slanted ceiling following the roof line. Nothing I tried worked until I tried TACT RCS 2.0 It's a great unit which cured all the ills and I didn't have to "decorate" my room with all the absorbing/reflecting/difracting, etc. panels or tubes.
