Assuming an 8-foot ceiling, the 13x24 has resonant modes at 70, 141 and 211 hz and a volume of 2500 cu ft. The 14x16 has resonant modes 70, 141, 211, 282, 320 and 353 hz and a volume of almost 1800 cu ft. It's my understanding that modes above 300 hz have little consequence, but I think the smaller volume may be disadvantageous. There is a free graphical mode calculator available online at RealTraps.com, and it provides recommended room dimension ratios near your own. For instance, if you could construct a 5-ft deep antechamber, you would have a nice set of dimensions. Download and check it out.
Which Room has More Potential?
Room One: 14'x16' This room has one door that can be closed, two windows with curtains, and is carpeted.
Room Two: 13' x 24' This room has 3 doorways that canot be closed, two windows with curtains, and has hardwood floors.
My speakers are Von Schweikert vr5-hse's diven by Aragon Palladium ll's and are currently setup in the smaller room.
The wife got the boot and now I can setup my stereo wherever I please. Would the larger room have more potential for better sound? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
