Hi all. I hope to get some help in advance while planning to build my new house. I'm planning to build a house in the West Coast, the "problem" is that the area have building regulations and guidelines to have the West Coast look (long narrow blocks with high pitch roofs connected to each other with flat roofed sections).
The plans I've worked on, with which the body corporate hopefully will agree, boils down to the livingroom being 5m wide, 10m long, side walls 4m high and the center pitch of the roof about 7m high with exposed rafters.
There isn't going to be a lot of glass except for a 2m sliding in the far left corner, a open wall into the kitchen in the far right corner and two 800mm wide windows in the far wall.
Would it be best to use the hifi in the length of the room or rather from side to side? I still think that my my hifi (Linn LP12, Linn LK1 preamp, two Rotel 870BX power amps, Rogers LS8 speakers, Marantz CD player) sounds 1000 times better than my AV system with a Marantz 6200 and B&W M1 surrounds.
Hope someone can give some pointers how to plan for the best sound with what I'm going to have. Currently the w.a.f. isn't much of a problem as she is quite adaptable (at the moment). LoL
Thanks in advance. Enjoy
