Sounds the size of Wales

[Emlin]

Many posters on this forum and elsewhere state that that their rooms are small, medium or large.

Is there a standard measure that I have missed, or should one now be created? And how many sheds would that make?

(For those that don't know, in the UK the size of Wales is commonly used as unit of area, as a fridge is used for satellites' dimensions and Olympic swimming pools for liquid mass.)

I'd rather visit Wales the next time rather than the area surrounding London fwiw. I hear you have some decent mountain biking out there mostly
I'd do a Scotland tour for single malt first either way

Only room size standard I can think of off hand is Audioholic's sub room size thing https://www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-design/subwoofer-room-size

Generally most "home" rooms are considered small in the acoustic sense....

I wonder how many single malts make a room sound good? That could be another metric, and one that I would enthusiastically calibrate!

I've had the same question. Not knowing if my room is moderately large, large or small. I know people who have listening rooms that put mine in each category. By reputation England has smaller rooms on average, but I don't know that to actually be true. I could give my feeling for size categories, but it would just be another variation of what is common where I live without knowledge of how it is elsewhere.

And for anyone struggling with this simple concept The Register has a simple online converter.

Much better than any SI unit, we should adopt it.

I was also amused by the unit of female beauty, the Helen.

If Helen was the face that launched 1000 ships, then someone much less attractive that manages only to launch one must be rated a milli-helen.
