Unfortunatley my listening room is also know as the living room. Someday!

My room's way too small for what my speakers are designed for, but that's what I've got 'til that winning Lotto ticket arrives.

It is a separate guest house that has been specifically remodeled for audio listening. It incorporates six dedicated AC circuits, double-thick walls and has a 12' peaked ceiling.

I am really starting to like my small, retangular room. My speakers are along the long wall, well away from the corners, and toeing them in makes for a nice, intimate listening space with no big sonic bunions.

Wouldn't you agree, that cubic feet measurements, are more important that just square feet? Other than the obvious problems some rooms create due to realtive diminsions, the third measurement of height is critical in the choice of amplification needed and the size of speakers required, and or subwoofer considerations.

My room's about 220 sq. ft. and my system could easily fill a room twice as large. Nobody ever said overkill was a bad thing!

Right now, it's just under 400 sq. ft. When the new house is built next summer, my dedicated room will be over 675 sq. ft. and it will be based on George Cardas' Golden Trapagon model.

Why wasn`t the measurement in cubic feet? Ceiling height plays a part too, y`know.

Its a living room in a flat!!!

My listening space is far from ideal but it gets the job done. The couch messes up the tweeter responce on the right, the sub is way off to the left, but it works well enough most of the time.

My listening room is becoming my 2 girls play room. The only sound coming from the room now will be squeals of childhood which has become music to my ears. My system is being moved to the, (finishing in progress) 3rd floor. It will have some funcky angles and be around 300sq. ft. A dad's has to do what a dad has to do.

My "listening room" is just the living room of my one-bedroom apartment. But my modest system sounds surprisingly decent in it, and I was even able to put the couch in the sweet spot.

There is more to big foot than footprints ;)

My ceilings are 14' high. Best component I own.

I have a dedicated music/theater room with sufficient strategic architectural features to allow a flat (+/- 3db) two-channel frequency response from 20

My room is 17' x 24' with a 7.5' ceiling. The speakers are placed on the long wall.

Add the 11' ceiling and the two large archways, and I have a lot of air to move.

I'm hoping to construct a larger listening room (approximately 250 sq. ft.) within the next year.

Bigger than a breadbox. 252 sq. ft.

But square footage isn't as meaningful a measurement as cubic footage. In addition, whether the room is vented in a significant way to other rooms is an important factor. Perhaps a question can be fashioned which requests information about cubic footage of rooms, the amount of room treatment, the sensitivity of speakers used and amplifier power to calculate some sort of ratio.

Can you say "nearfield," baby? My system and I have been relegated to our sunroom, which is 8' wide by 10.5' deep. I sit 7' away from my 6' apart Nautilus 804s. I hope to have a 12' by 16' or larger dedicated music room and a sub one day

Volume and proportion contribute to the "size" of the listening space.

Shape, construction, and furnishing are all important too

The room itself is 18' by 13', but is open to the rest of the first floor of my house. As a result, I don't have standing wave problems with the bass (although a lot leaks thru to the basement).

My gear is in a shared living room area with TV, piano and play items for the kids. My 1400+ albums, 800+ CDs & SACDs are relagated to bedroom and basement storage. I use small containers to hold what I'm currently listening to in the living room area. As a result, what I picked out often doesn't jibe with what I'd like to hear - making another trip to the music a way of life.

Unfortunately it is also our living room so the speaker placement is far from ideal

cubic feet would be a better measure

Shouldn't this really be cubic feet? After all you play into the whole room.

My room's 12' by 13'. Not big, but it's all mine. No TV, no sewing machine, no distractions.

My main listening area is the living room in my house, the room is about 260 sq ft, but is open to 2 other rooms almost doubling the volume
