The ideal listening room


When building a hi-fi or reference system, most times one give more emphasis on the equiment it self not having a lot a choices but to sacrifes sound's quality due to a poor listenig room with components trying to blend on a living room. But, what if you have the option to desing your own listenig room, how will it be? What materials, dimensions either corners or narrow end walls...

Victorhsalcedo, the ideal listening room would be similar to the golden ratio when building speakers. Think of the room as a huge speaker enclosure. A vaulted ceiling,IMO, is not a good idea unless the speaker placement are parallel with with the vault ceiling. Imagine putting a mirror on the ceiling and using a flashlight to aim the mirror. If you point it upwards to the mirror, you have the beam of light redirect to you at 90 degrees. If you know geometry, you know what I mean.
