Hi All,
I have the above set up, with various components, but for power the amp is the Rotel 1575. Sub is a 12" sealed Sunfire.
Currently the kit is housed in the living room (A), which is
A) 4.7m (L) x 3.3m (W) x 2.3m (H) Flat plaster board ceiling, x2 of the walls are partition, the other brick cavity, with dob and dab plaster board all round. Window at rear wall. I currently sit approx 3.2m away from the front speakers, and the 803Ds have 1.8m distance bewteen them, and approx 0.5m away from side and rear walls. Wood flooring, leather 3 piece suite. One of the chairs obstructs the left 803D bass drivers. Plasma on wall. Very little scope for acoustic treatment and no other layout configurations.
B) 3.9m (L) x 2.8m (W) x 3.1 (H) ( at highest point, scandanavian style roof) x2 of the walls are Brick cavity, the other has a double patio window, the rear wal is open plan into kitchen, so would consider fitting another double patio window to seperate. This room I can have more or less carte blanche to do what I want with it, as it 'could' be MY room :twisted: This room is an extension to the house, so will hopefully benefit people internally from noise, but could filter out to adjoining neighbours?
So given the above dimensions and relative restrictions, which would you go for?
Or to summarise, Room A with less than perfect seating arrangement, minimal acoustic treatment, or the much smaller Room B, with freedom of seating layout and potential DIY acoustic treatment options.
Bearing in mind the associated cost of running new mains spurs, plastering, fitting glass patio doors internally to seperate room from kitchen etc etc?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
