Hello everybody, I'm currently in the process of designing a critical
listening room which
will be built seperate from the house. The ratio that I'm going with
is 1 to 1.73 to 2.2.
With this ratio my demensions will be 11' H, 19' W, 24' 3" L.. I
calculated the room modes
of about 15 other ratios and this one gave me the smoothest room
response from 23 to 200hz..

On the walls I plan to use either 2 layers of 5/8" gypsum board or 1
layer of 3/4" MDF..

The side walls(length) will be splayed ~5 deg each giving me a width
of 18' @ the speaker end and a 20' width behind listner for an average
of 19'. The ceiling will be splayed giving a hieght of 10' at the
speaker end and 12' behind the listner.

Would appreciate any thoughts or ideas.

Thanks,
Paul H.


Clever.

It was Gilbert Briggs, founder of Wharfedale, who first brought the
advantages of asymmetry to the attention of audiophiles, before they
were called that, in his book Loudspeakers. Mr Briggs describes how he
played his speakers and played the piano on rooms in hotels all over
the England and sometimes in New York.

I have the book.

Very interesting, but I note you haven't posted a jot of useful info
related to the OP's question.

Most likely because you haven't a clue about acoustics.

First of all, I don't note a question. The OP was simply looking for
some general opinions, comments and possibly some validation. Second
of all, your post offers *nothing at all* but a personal attack. At
least his post specifically described some setups that he enjoyed,
but, of course you snipped them out since they wouldn't serve your
attack.

Oh, seems that Dave Weil our little RAO braggart has found an idol...

So, I have to wonder what contribution you think you're making here.

Here's a big problem with the group at the moment in a nutshell.
Someone doesn't like someone, so they fixate on them based on past
conflicts, and feel the need to interject them in even the most benign
threads.

You have been *unable* to bring rational material to support your speaker
"review" and now you're trying to give lesson to others ?
Shame on you !
