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) !!!

Thanks,
amal

Amal, seven years ago my Wife and I bought a really nice home and she banished my 'screening room' to the smallest bedroom. Since it needed my stereo system, that went too.

Now, all of the guests---especially the kids---all run up to 'my room' and, small as it is, it is the true center of the house and the place to be.

This bugs the s*it out of my wife as it is too cramped and she hates sitting up there but even more hates being left out.

We will soon be putting an addition and she has suggested a hole in the wall coming from the to-be-added library leading into the living room through which my High Definition Projector can deliver the full picture onto the pull-down screen located....in the living room where those really neat speakers I just bought can be placed.......

Be clever, and remember: if you make your room 'the best' it will be moved to the space she is most comfortable in.
