Just sharing this with the fellow ASR members here - mainly for fun but also if you guys see anything wildly out of place in my thinking please shout
Due to a separation I am moving to a new house/apartment in June/July (don't feel sorry, that is actually pretty good news to me, very much looking forward to it
)
My living room will be (almost) 100% dedicated to listening to music and watching movies - since it is still a living room I won't be able to treat it fully but I have some ideas already that I will share below
The audio rig will be the same as you can see in my signature, except that the subwoofer concept will be different. Instead of having two mono subs I will switch to stereo subs in the front using 4pcs of 10" sub drivers in two DOS cabinets but I will cover that later in another dedicated thread.
The room is 462 x 485 cm with the ceiling height of 310 cm
The floor plan will look something like this:
The speakers will be moved into the room, leaving 150-160cm behind them for sound stage depth and the side wall distance will be around 130 cm. The listening triangle will be 200cm.
REW simulation using Psy smoothing with the subs, no EQ vs. with simulated EQ (no boost filters!):
1/12 smoothing:
Not too bad I would say but I am curious how real-life measurements will look like, nevertheless
Room treatment (reflections only, no bass traps or anything like that) will be done using MDF-on-felt wall panels, I already bought them:
They will be applied to the front walls and the ceiling like this:
(+ on the back wall where my home office will be)
This picture gave me the idea:
The side wall reflections might remain untreated (I know, those are the most important ones), but will treat the floor, ceiling, front wall and back wall reflections
Maybe I will have a chance to do something with the side walls too, will see
That's all for now, I will keep posting pictures and 'clap tests' as the construction and the move is progressing + will share the new sub thread too
Stay tuned!
