Room Demensions, am I in trouble?


Hello people,

I'm moving into my first house and we have a room for a theater!!! The only part that looks like it could be a problem is the room demensions. The room is 12'W X14'L X8'H.

I will also be using this room for music(very important to me!!!). I have Thiel 2.3's for mains with a Thiel center and I have Energy Veritas 2.2's for rears. I also have a Sunfire True Sub. the TV is a Sony 43" RPTV (18" deep). The room has hardwood floors and two windows (Not casting day light on the TV screen.)

I want the room to fit 4 viewers (5 max). Its gonna get tight in there! I would like feedback from others who have been through this same situation. Please give me your advice, and recommendations. I'm not interested in feedback on my equipment, because I'm not buying any new stuff right now (Can you say mortgage payments in Northern California!!!)

Thanks

my calculations show room nodes too close together at 7&8 and 15&16. If your measurements are correct you will need to correct for the like node cancellations that will occur at the noted points and others will likely occur in your seating position. otherwise my only comment is, that is a sheet load of speakers for such a small room and should likely give you some pretty incredible theatre sound and overload + room resonance galore! Go three channel + subs trade one set of speakers in for some tiny ceiling mounts and save some precious space.

AudiogoN post set up will not allow for my chart to post properly so each line has a accendinghz and differential value except the last doesn't have a differential. Length has 7 values, width 6 and height 4

buy the rives info before you do echobusters...you may not need them and all you will have accomplished is use up more space in your full to the brim area.
