Opportunity to knock out a wall - make an 18 x 30 room
The single best feature of my listening room is the solid core door, with weather stripping. Running a close second is a tie between the 5/8" sheetrock over 1/2" sound board, and the 1/2" MDF shutters that close over the windows blocking out both light and noise. How are you planning on keeping the noise out of your room? |

Thanks for the insight the short wall speaker orientation will not work. exposed speakers and couch in main walkway the wall is not a load bearing wall the 19 by 18 by 8 is horrible dimensions but works with HT - two JL Audio subs. There is an opening into the kitchen and bookcases in back holding the rear satelittes it works. The room may act more like a L 27' W 19' H 8' |
This sounds like a Room Mode Peak. " It sounds great at my listening spot but the room can overload with volume particularly on cd and I am not getting the perfect integration of drivers nor widest sweet spot." For Reference: https://www.gikacoustics.com/what-are-room-modes/ It would be best to experiment before making floor plan changes. It is not necessary to use the the whole width of the room. Ideal placement is not the only possible configuration. |
thanks Rego It's a matter of not turning it up to loud. In the next room it sounds tonally accurate. Open doors on the listening wall at both ends In regard to how this would look. Don't get me wrong - I am getting great sound from my system but I know with those speakers going from 9 ft to 11 ft or greater away really allows them to sing. |
Before you go through all of that work, use a heavy drape on the wall behind you.... It will help, how much is the question.... worth a try. I stacked several boxes in the corners where I suspected bad room nodes, made all the difference in the world. I am going to build some sort of trap to break up the wave. I believe you can do a good job on that room without losing the function of another. good luck, Tim |
