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.

I would have thought all the people here with high dollar systems would make it a priority to have a dedicated space as well.

Don’t discount the impact of Rockwool too much. My room was designed by an acoustician and Rockwool is in every wall and the ceiling. I also have no drywall inside the room like @unreceivedogma as well. I have a smaller room but enjoy every listening session immensely! I don’t care for music as background music because my mind is somewhere else and it is not enjoyable at all.
