How big is your room? W' x L' x H'

[Dre_J]

Some recent posts have lead me to a curiosity of the size of some of the rooms used by our members.

With that said, How about letting us know the general size of your room and any additional information you would like to add.

I'll start things off with my room:

Approximate size in feet: 18' W x 43' L x 8' H around 5900-6192 cubic ft

Additional info: Multipurpose rooms with priority towards 2-channel listening. Speakers setup along 18' wall. It also has many open spaces to much larger areas of my home outside of this space.


So how about you?

How would you characterize your room size? small, medium, large?
Approximate size in feet:

It looks like we are still doing well. We'd like to get as much participation as possible from our WBF membership so our sample size will be larger.

The goal is just to have general ideas of room sizes of as many members as possible as asked in the original post. From the looks of things so far, many of the rooms are of similar average sizes. But the more info we get the more each member will be able to understand their rooms in relation to others.

Lets keep sharing room size information.

I'm going to try to post some new pictures. For some reason my photographic efforts are almost always sub-par...

Interestingly, one might think the front wall (with large window, equipment and CD racks) could use some other acoustic treatment (there are several TubeTraps and some decorative pillows, and some kind of "dots" on the window) but adding anything else or changing things has consistently degraded the sound.

What's that plant sitting on top of?

If you mean the plant behind the rack, it's a 9" Tube Trap.

I did mean the plant behind the rack, but due to an optical illusion, it almost looked like it might have been sitting on top of a turntable or whatever is on top of your rack.

That's a rarely used laptop connected to the Oppo. I think all the equipment but that is listed in my profile.

Here is my room, a bit on the small side, I really wish it was 2-3' wider. Construction is double layer drywall with Green Glue, front wall is a wood covered brick fireplace. One problem area is the 12' window which makes up one of the long walls - I need to spend a lot more time working on acoustics in this space.

My room is 14.5' W x 15.5' D x 9' H. It is open to a hallway at the rear and a bathroom at the rear. I store my albums in a spare bedroom. Also, most of my CD's are in booklets. Here are some older photos. I don't have the very large interconnects anymore. My equipment rack is to the right of my seating, when facing the speakers, along the wall.

Great art panel behind your amps!

 

[slowGEEZR]

Thanks Rob! I picked those up from GIK Acoustics at the 2012 RMAF. It seems they were tired of looking at them and said to the room that the first $150 gets them. I immediately said, "Sold".

 

[Joe Galbraith]

My room is dedicated 2 channel, 16.5W x 23L x 10 tapering to 8H

Loudspeakers and amps centered on 23 ft wall at 10 ft ceiling height, listening position at 8 ft ceiling height. RPG Variscreens in rear corners, Quest AI ceiling clouds and wall panels. Mioculture Acoustic Weave diffusor (5ft x 4ft) behind loudspeakers. Wall is at 10ft height covered in uneven surface brick.

Thought I would add a few pics to the description

Joe, I think your speakers are missing from your equipment profile?

I had been contemplating a change, but I think I'll hang on to the Kharma a while longer. I am powering them with different amplification as well: Quicksilver M135 monos. I really like what I am hearing with this combo

I have owned two Quicksilver MS-190 amps and a pair of the V4 amps. The M135 amps are rare as hen's teeth and they hardly ever come up for sale which tells you something. I always looked at the M135 amps as Mike's take on the Marantz Model 9 amps.

Hi Joe,

Looing good as aiways! Longing for those Maggies of old?

They really do look like the Marantz Nines don't they? These are stock, with the exception of the handles on the fronts. They have really brought out the bass in the Kharma 2.2Ce, and keep a tight grip on the control of it too.

Hi Joe,

when I sold the Magnepans, I thought I would really miss them. However, my listening has been much less stressful. Remember when I had the Magnepans I was driving them with the Wolcott P220 monos. Every time I turned those babies on, I would pray that they wouldn't detonate. Every time they did, I knew it would be a 6 month wait on repair and a 4K bill to go with it. So - no I guess I don't miss them.

Very large main space, 28'wide x41'long w/ 12' ceilings sloping up to 20' at the clerestory. Rear of room w/ a 18'x12' opening which leads to an even bigger space (app.98'long.) My design that functions as an art gallery, music room and general living space. All in all a very good acoustic space much like a small church or theater sans the elevated stage. 1" thick wood floor screwed to 1" over 2"x2" screeds bolted to a slab. All walls are framed in 2"x6" w/ 5/8" ply screwed to studs. Framing packed w/ Corning insulation. Floors covered w/ various rugs, lots of sculpture & art to break it up & all the normal thing on would have in a real living space.

Speakers app. 7' from corners & 60" out from rear. Big speakers & lots of power & the system actually plays the room. NO standing waves, peaks or anything problematic.
Its really spectacular but it was planned, built & executed as a home business (art) and music space/place to live out our last years the way we want.
I always get a kick out of fact that the room itself allows me to play music that can replicate many of the recording venues (chamber music, jazz, small clubs) and really create some magical stuff.
Only downside I hate it that AC/Heat delivery can be a bit too noisy for my late night sessions.

lots of easy ways to fix that
