One of the best “components” you can acquire for your system is a dedicated listening room. My wife uses the room almost every morning to read, drink her coffee etc. We spend evenings listening to vinyl, having a glass of wine or scotch. There is a puzzle behind the two chairs if you want to puzzle while listening. It is my favorite room in the house. It is fun to show to people who come over, I am not sure they fully get it.
Listening Room
Hello to all,
I think this is a situation many audiophiles find themselves in: That being your listening room is NOT a dedicated room that your expensive audio system resides in. You do NOT have a chair that is perfectly positioned in between speakers to optimize your listening enjoyment. Why? The room simply cannot accommodate a chair in the center or, most likely, your wife and/or significant other will not allow you to place a chair where it's supposed to be when listening.
Having said that, you listen to music from everywhere in the room. How does one go about speaker placement? How do you increase the sound stage? Are some speaker brands better than others when you do not have a dedicated listening room? Thanks for your input.
