The planning application went in yesterday for the new extension, so that will take 8 weeks, I’ve agreed a price with a builder and he is booked for May. Build will take maybe 6 weeks.
I decided to abandon the idea of extending the existing garage in favour of building a new extension on t’other side of the house. This is after speaking with our very own Simon @sjs . He thought that despite the available plot on the other side of the house being an asymmetric shape, it would make a better listening room. This is the sketch he very kindly did for me.
When I did it, it coincided with our house move and to be honest, I was totally gung-ho. I had no clue what I was doing and truly, I probably got bits wrong. Although I knew it would be a journey. I didnt have the help available to you, well at least to begin with.
Having done it, I would say go for it but probably you should listen to a few things first. Listening to other’s systems might be different with a mind set of building something similar for yourself. I’ve got a load of shifting around to do here but once done, you are welcome, of course. We could move the listening position to a similar place to where it will be in your room for instance.
Reckon you have lots of choices, listen to everything you can.
My perception would be that the elliptical horns Simon is suggesting if going straight, would be a better bet than mine because you will be able to get them tighter together vertically. Reckon that may help with integration as you’ll be near field. If snail, I think you can hang other drivers/horns in the mouth and use a digital xo to time align. Bass could be horn or open baffle…
Yes, I bet and the 25a would be nicely set in the centre of a 15a, bet it sounds good though.
Heres a few more horns in the set up, still think this is too big and going circular wont reduce the space between listening position and horn. The 25a looks better in terms of spacing…that angled back wall is a bugger.
The room doesn’t allow for this with doors and windows being obstructed but this gives more space from listening position to speakers but again not sure about the angled wall and reflections etc.
