[QUOTE="MorneDJ, post: 182545, member: 1101"] You can go and listen to 10 rooms, but unless you duplicate the room exactly (audio system, placement, construction materials, floor and wall covering (including type of paint), ceiling material, gap in ceiling etc), you will not get the same result. In addition, your state of mind when you listen to the sound system, as well as the choice of music will also have an impact. If you are going to build a HT / Music room, just build one, go for as big as you can. Do a search on google on the golden ratio, and select those ratios, but build the room as large as you can. e.g. if the ceiling is 2.5 m, make the width 4 m (4.045m) and length 6.5 m (6.55m). You can also make the length 10.59 m. The best place to listen to music is the outside, where there are no or very little reflections, and then you can hope that your room have the same acoustic response. If possible, give it a sloped roof, as the gap in the roof will provide a spot where the lower frequencies can be sorted. Once you have the building, fit it out you want it. Chairs/couches etc. Then install your existing audio system in there, then download REW and test the room response, else ask around for some-one to measure the response and give advice. I frequently travel south africa, and go to that area once every 6 months it seems. But get the building/room. Once you have that you can start to borrow amplifiers/receivers/speakers/sources etc to listen to it. You can also start with room treatment if required. Regards Morne [/QUOTE]
