I've had a lot of fun with my "bedroom" system. I've gone for different sound than with the main system, with less emphasis on bass. The system is pretty modest, with a Creek integrated and Totem arro speakers. As other posters have noted, you can get a great, intimate sound with a lot less volume (and money).
Listening Nirvana in Tiny Hideaway Room
In typically neurotic audiophile fashion, I continue to obsess over upgrades, speaker placement etc with my main system in my main room inside the house.
I have recently abandoned the completion of a new office in a detached garage, as I have found myself traveling into my other office in NYC much more frequently than expected.
As I looked at this garage space, I realized that the walls and ceiling are asymmetrical, with a high point of 9 feet or so, although the room itself is quite small -- say 10 by 12 ish.
So I wondered if I might be fun to escape to this space to listen to music and/or watch movies -- away from the distractions and noises of the house, family, TV telephone etc.
Has anyone succeeded in assembling a jaw dropping system in such a small space? Or have you had success with a particular speaker that could sound and image well in a small space?
Does this sound like fun? .....or should I just plow more funds into the big rig?
