Lets see your listening room dimensions.


I will admit I have a compromised music room. 12x20x8. My sister has a music room to die for. Asymmetrical as all get out. Angled ceilings with many corners. Walls are rectangular and is broken up by enclosed rooms coming out into the main room. I'm guessing room dimensions. 20x30 with height varying 10 to 15. The most amazing thing is that she has a late 70s stereo with NIKKO Components and OHM I speakers. Are you reading this John S.? It sounds unreal dumbfounding awesome. It made me rethink whats really important in the audio chain. To anyone who is shopping for a new house please take this into serious consideration. Your probably going to have wood floors that are not best for TTs and bass. I have made my own speaker isolation bases which are cheap and not a subtle improvement. Message me for details. Let me see if I can put it on my page here. Good luck.

12’4"x14’6"x8’2" height. Stereo is situated along the longer wall. A 2’x5’ louvered, wooden-door closet sits on the stereo’s right flank, shortening the stereo wall by 2 feet.. Speaker placement ignores the existence of the closet, thus making it seem as if the speakers are not centered within the room.  No acoustic treatments other than a trio of racks stuffed with LPs. Wood floor. No cottage cheese ceiling. No rug.

Brand new house. I had the architect and contractor make sure the walls and floor have sound-deadening insulation and that the door is a solid one. I auditioned the stereo along every wall before I declared the job done. And I gotta say, too, that I just love the way it all sounds.
Try the 12' x 13.5' one. My room is fairly close to that one, dimensionally, and I've managed to achieve a very balanced, natural sound.
