Hey guys:
Big problem...my soon to be fiancee just bought her first house and the plan is for me to move in down the road. Ok, that's great but this is her first home and it is pretty small. I think a little over 1200 sq. ft. I was taking a look at the house the other night and realized that my HT setup would not fit (as is) in any of the rooms. Of course, I brought this up to the boss and received the dreaded, "I didn't buy this house so your speakers could fit in it" comment. 8O I don't have exact dimensions for you guys, so this message may be a bit premature. I'll get those for you later this week and post. In the meantime, I'll give you a feel for the rooms in the house that will be consideder for an HT setup:
1) family room - square. My guess is the room is 12x12 tops. The big problem w/ this room is that none of the walls are long enough to give my speakers breathing room. Instead, they'll be cramped together w/ only a small amount of space between the speaker and the wall.
2) den/bedroom - most likely 10x11, but much more useable wall space. The problem here is the room is so small. There wouldn't be much room between the front and rear speakers. Oh, and she's already claimed this as her den/office. :M
3) basement - my best hope. The previous owners finished the basement, but divided it up into two bedrooms so the layout is terrible. The plus with the basement is that most of the walls are false and could be demo'ed very easily. This room would cost me the most money & time to fix.
My kit - 27 inch Sony WEGA on a TV stand housing my center channel, rotel 1055, 1072, dvd player, and playstation. energy c9s for fronts and energy c3s (on stands) for rears.
I'm just disappointed b/c I was hoping that I could get a nice dedicated HT room up and running and I just don't see that happening w/ this house. I'm not sure if I've given enough info to get help from the forum, but I'll throw out better room descriptions later this week. In the meantime, any comments would be welcome.
Thanks,
chris
