The right room.


What is the optimal size room for two channel? That is for medium size floor standers or monitors. Will not be going to horns or planars which probably need more breathing room. Something that would be ideal for merlins or the likes of usher's BE- 718.

Based on my limited experience, I'd prefer a room size of about 14ft wide x 23ft. deep X 10 ft high ceiling for medium to large floorstanding speakers placed far out from the back short wall.

These dimensions should suffice for perhaps all but the largest of speakers providing a deep, wide, and tall soundstage with proper speaker placement.

And with a room of these dimensions there should be enough space to play with speaker placement and listening chair placement to minimize most any low frequency suckouts and overloads.
