From your listening chair...

[newlash09]

Wow that’s a seriously stunning result! You should be really proud of yourself and I will be using some of your room treatment ideas as my preference is to have treatment built in so that you don’t know that it’s there. I really like the colour choices and it seems a wonderful space to listen to music in. In London we did something similar using a dark blue. My HiFi is nowhere near your level though. In Portugal will will have a separate music room like you.

Thanks a ton for the appreciation sir

Hiding the treatment to the extent possible, and getting an aesthetically pleasing listening room, cum a small study was the main idea. I still haven't treated first reflection points so far. And also plan to add diffusion on the front wall. But iam taking it really slow at the moment, as I want the future additions to blend into the room while still being effective sonically. Will look forward to your dedicated room build to get ideas that I can implement. All the best sir

Is this the foot-fetish thread?

This room I quite heavily treated, although you can't see any of it. Of course, unlike @Idlewithnodrive, I did nothing physical myself other than tap numbers into my Barclays app.

Lovely room sir

By any chance can you please share some info on side wall treatment at first reflection points. As iam presently stuck at that point in my own room.

The wall on the left is lined with a product called Karma Acoustiwall and a long chaise. Rug, Soundbloc on the ceiling and right wall, plus vinyl along the right wall, seems to work pretty well.

Keeping the speakers quite close and sitting quite near probably helps. When the room is quite small, no point pretending it's bigger or trying to make it bigger by putting speakers too close to the walls and sitting at the back of the room. The speaker location was fixed by my Wilson dealer, it was pretty magic what he managed to do.

I once bought some of those acoustic panels, the wife gave me a dirty look and they went back the next week. We live in a house, not a recording studio. Robert Harley's book, it's massive, but has a lot of useful info.

Thanks for sharing sir

Thanks for sharing sir

I found this company:

www.muffle.co.uk

They sell a vast range of acoustic products, way more choice and ideas than the standard GIK stuff, and give me very good advice.

This was a product I almost put in my office until I went for a different sound system.

Great shout on the link, thanks for sharing. I shall run some of these past the other half (who is generally pretty easy-going with most things) as I want to do some room treatments when we refurb the lounge

What may have gone unnoticed is that the 4 lights in the ceiling (there are 6 in total) are also speakers, and very good ones too. They go down to 40Hz at -6dB, about 55Hz at -3dB. The speaker part was designed by Lawrence Dickie, who designs the Vivid Audio speakers and for 15 years was the chief engineer at B&W. Each unit is a 24/192 wireless streamer, 75w amplifier, speaker and light. Roon Ready, Amazon HD, Tidal, Alexa, AirPlay and other things onboard. They have very clever dispersion so fill the room with sound. I have them throughout the house.

My listening chair, after a tough day at work I'm particularly appreciating it...

For those people who came to my room at the show and asked …..is this your setup at home

Good to see it's all home in one piece. A tremendous effort.

The amp/DSP rack is hidden in the lhs corner behind the speakers

The only thing with your music room Keith is you need more hifi boxes mate it just does'nt look complete.

What is the distance between speakers and from listener to speakers?
They look too far apart but it culd be the panorama stitching...

Have you tried moving just the 3-way cabinets closer to the chimney breast?

 

[MF 1000]

Roughly 4 m between the speakers and 3 m to my listening position .
The plinths either side of the chimney breast are immovable objects
