Hi
After many years of mostly listening to headphones, I am at a point where I have to resign myself with a smaller room than I anticipated. To make a long story short, Life has a way to derail the best plans. I anticipated building a room at least 6 x 4 x 3 meters... Time is passing thus ... I will have my systems in a decent if not great room at least I will have my room.
Vocation is Music , I wouldn't mind combining the HT in there too ...
Concrete room in both cases.
Option 1 , dimensions in meter:
4.80 x 3.30 x 2.80
Option 2:
4.8 x 4.4 x 2.8
Screen is 120 inches diagonal 16:9
Speakers ? ?? In the running:
Neumann KH 310A, JBL 708, Genelec 8341 in this order. I would like however to re-purpose my current JBL LSR 308 and 2 LSR 305 for the HT.. thus the 708 could have been the more sensible choice but I am attracted, sight unseen and unheard to the sealed enclosure and 3-way nature of the KH 310
Subs? At least 2. either those I currently have in my HT, the wildly satisfying Parts Express Sub1500 ($230 each) or sealed subs from SVS or Rythmik (SVS 2000 , Rythmik L12). Intellectually prefer sealed but ...
Receiver
Denon AVR X-3400H for HT, this one is not leaving anytime soon or
above Denon for HT and miniDSP SHD Studio + Dirac for music only but combined in some ways with the Denon for HT
At this point in time, I like my music to be 2-channel, thus even if I were to have the HT and 2-channel in the same room , I would listen to 2-channel plus subs of course ...
Questions: This is an interim solution ( again, the "interim" could be much longer than I anticipate) so it better be good... Which of the 2 options should I choose? Constructions/remodeling to begin as soon as I would have made a decision based on what YOU (yes! I am asking the collective ) would have advised...
FWIIW, I prefer big rooms and was about to get a 4.4 x 6 x 2.80 meters room from the remodeling but structural Engineer (a so-called "friend" ... ) advises on smaller room because of paraseismic (Earthquake proofing ) and structural/cost issues. The larger room would have me incurred construction cost of more than 20 grand as compared to <$2500 for the smaller options...
Looking forward to hear from you.
