RE: Building a room for my Magnepans

Posted by rickl on February 11, 2015 at 08:19:02:
I've been in their Dad's room a few times. I didn't take measurements or look very closely how everything was setup but just enjoyed the music.

I can tell you it is upstairs so i don't think it is a concrete floor. It is carpeted. The power amp/pre ICs run under the floor. The amps are in a closet/room while the pre and source are next to the listening chairs.

I believe each wall is not perpendicular to each other (contractors who built it struggled with this). There are some sound treatments behind the listening area and possibly along the side walls up high. I really didn't pay too much attention.

The 20s are pulled out from the wall (6'?) and are slightly toed in to the listening area. There are several chairs for listeners and a row (or two?) of cheap seats behind them. The cheap seats are raised like a home theater.

I don't recall room treatments like what is posted here. No fake ficus trees, no pillows or absorption panels. If anyone has been to the Magnepan plant listening/demo/prototype room will know about room treatments.

I'd just listen to Barry and not pay too much attention to this rambling and vague post.
