Guys and gals, some advice please.
I've just put in an offer on a new house, an amazing converted Victorian Methodist Chapel in the country, w/two superb potential spaces to listen to music.
The main lounge, 35' x 30' x 20', and the loft space which would need some finegeling to get it right.
It's this loft space that I need advice on.
It's deep in the roof space, no vertical walls, so triangular on cross section.
Standing at the midpoint, flr to apex/ridge is 10'.
The roof then slopes down at a 30 degree angle either side, so that there is a 15' width to play with to the point where floor to roof slope is 5' high. Any further out wider is "redundant" floor area.
I have up to 45' length to play with.
The house is bomb proof, no stability/strength issues.
So, can a room w/no vertical walls work re high end acoustics? Would any spkr, and a horn esp take kindly to approximately abutting angled slope of a roof, as long as we have 12'-15' width to play with?
Any other considerations I need to consider?
If I go horns, I'll be upgrading from Zu Definitions 4s to Cessaro Liszts, AG Duo Mezzos or Trios/Basshorns.
