Oh my gosh,,,, a room 8x16 by 8ft ceiling ht is a perfect diaster... you can't get any worst.. Those room demensions are about as disasterious as it can possibly get... I wouldn't be planning on spending too much money on a system for that room... Look at all the common denominators that go into each demension.. Yes in deed,,, that is a nighmare.. Don't use that room... find a better room or think about buying a different house... You better take a crash course on "ROOM ACOUSTICS" before thinking about setting up your stereo in a room that measures 8x16x8.... you just can't get any more worst than that for AUDIO SOUND... THAT ROOM IS AS BAD AS IT GETS... I HAVEN'T BEEN UP HERE ON THESE BOARDS IN A LONG TIME... ARE THESE THE TYPES OF POST THE DISCUSSION AREA GETS NOW???? POOR POOR QUALITY AUDIO MUST BE DIEING JUST LIKE QUALITY MUSIC HAS... ITS A NEW DAWN... DOESN'T ANYONE DO ANY RESEARCH ON THEIR OWN ANYMORE? PLEASE SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY A 8FT X 16FT X 8FT ROOM IS DISASTERIOUS FOR A GOOD LEVEL FREQ RESPONSE,,, WHY THE BASS WILL BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET RIGHT.. WHY NO EXPERIENCED KNOWLEDGABLE AUDIOPHILE WOULD NOT EVEN CONCIDER USING THAT ROOM FOR A QUALITY SOUND.. DIPS AND BUMPS AND SUCK OUTS AND CANCELLATIONS, MISSING OCTAVES ETC,,, JUST DISASTERIOUS... PLAN ON USING A GOOD EQ IN THAT ROOM... THAT ROOM IS NO GOOD FOR PLANNING A SOUND SYSTEM
Nightmare
I am sleep deprived!
Will be moving in to a newly bought house mid next year and I will not be "allowed" to keep the Hifi in the Living room anymore. Living room is so awkwardly shaped, it is not hifi-worthy anyway.
However, I will have a room of 8'X16' dedicated for Music. Now I am seriously worried about the width being only 8'. I currently use ML Aerius i's and they are kept well away from the side walls (2 feet away) and at least 6 feet apart from each other. Will I have any chance at all, getting the placement right in such a narrow room?
Alternatively, I am considering parting with (sadly though) my electrostatics and exploring the Nirvana in Horn/SET camp, since I have heard that horns can be safely placed right next to the side walls. Did listen to Lowther DX-4s driven by an Atma S-30. Sounded pretty good, but something was missing.
Please SMS (Save my Soul) !!!
