Room for discussion?


I might move the stereo to a new room. Are these good dimensions, sonically?

Checking into that book a little bit, it's 576 pages long and sells for 45 bucks. The reviews on Amazon are uniformly positive and the author appears to be held in high regard. My guess is that after reading a book like this, I'd really know a lot more about loudspeakers (assuming I could understand what he's saying). But that may be just a teensy weensy bit of an overambitious reading task for someone like me, who has very little time even for listening. So, are you aware of anything more.....condensed?
Buff,

Thanks for the tips. Could I just have the room that YOU'RE using for that absolutely gorgeous virtual system of yours?????
Yes, I can put the speakers along the long wall.

Hifitime,
That's a good idea that I hadn't thought of. Not sure whether it will be possible to do or not. Although not huge, the speakers I have ARE heavy, with granite cabinets.

Thanks, guys!
Dave, read back over your impressively well thought out response.

NOW do you see why I think that you are BRILLIANT????!!!!

Thanks--EXTREMELY helpful.

Dave,

I've decided to wait for a while, due to a number of factors. The points you made above were pivotal. Sometimes it's very helpful to hear from someone else. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. It is very much appreciated.

Thanks for the responses so far.

Dave:

Current room: 20 ft 10 in x 15 ½ ft x 9 ft (ceiling height)
Possible room: 17 ½ x ~13 x 8 ½ to 9 feet (I think that’s right for the ceiling height).

Something to remember: the new room would NOT have Gladys sitting between the speakers.
