Hi guys. So I will be making a room for possibly 20.7s and I have a choice of 16 ft wide or 18. Given the close proximity the panel has to the side walls if this setup were to be used - would you recommend the wider room? Length of the room can be 25-30 ft.
Thanks Tim

In my experience, if you follow Limage's method, then your speaker will be as close to 6"-12" from the side walls, so even a 16' wide room will be enough for the 20.X
Here is a photo of my room, which is only 15' wide

So you are triamping the Full Range?
How do you keep all those tubes cool, especially in HK?
Hi Satie, I am still using biamp, but getting everything ready to go triamp!
Heat is a real problem with all those tubes, the electric bill for air-conditioning is high :-(
1st avoid 2:1 and 1.5:1 length to width ratios. the golden ratio is good.
18 ft is about as good as 16 ft width, neither would be too far or too near. The wider room would be somewhat more flexible, mine is 17' and would be good for an MG20.x with the Tympani I wish I had the extra foot of width.
Tim, I think Satie is more knowledgable about this than am I. I have 3.6s in a room that is 15' by 21', and I think it works well, but it would better if the room were larger still.
I think the larger the room, the better. 20.7 speakers, I imagine, will benefit from a larger room.
Thanks. I am usually posting with my phone and seem to consistently post under the incorrect line in the thread!! :)
