In Reply to: thanks guys, another couple of questions posted by Shane from AUS on March 4, 2007 at 01:46:10:
"22ft width, 13 ft high and 33 ft long for the perfect listening room." I wish acoustics were so simple.Here is a quote from Linkwitz:
"Many computer programs have been written that calculate the resonant modes of a given room and recommend optimum loudspeaker and listener placements. Usually, real rooms are much more complex than the calculated models. Walls are not infinitely stiff, rooms have windows, doors, openings, suspended floors or ceilings, etc. In addition, it is the polar pattern and the acoustic source impedance of the given loudspeaker that determines which of the potential room modes are actually excited and to which degree. The usefulness of such programs is marginal at best. Likewise, recommended proportions for room length, width and height should not be taken more seriously than other proportions that may be based on visual aesthetics."
Please do read the link before you waste money on some "perfect" building measurements.
