I've been toying with the idea of a dedicated music room recently. One with sound proof walls and a stereo system that surronds a comfortable chair in the middle with subwoofers inside it. I'm just wondering what the most ideal setup would be. Has anyone done anything like this? Should I just stick to earphones? |

I'm planning to do this when i'm in the middle of my forties and the hairline recedes and waistline expands... |

hmm.. you have to realise that to do this properly, you need lots of money and lots of time, but since you're planning on having a dedicated room for it, I guess you've got all of that... first of all: do NOT use a square room.. rectangular is better and uneven is preferred. preferrably, the ceiling should also be sloping or at least not even... buy hifi-carpets, and maybe some resonance reducing materials to coat the walls with... also, the subwoofer in the chair isn't necessary.. subwoofers should be in the corner of the room, not in the center... even if you're a basshead, this will work fine, you just set it a bit higher. you'd also need a set of speakers that are proportional to the size of the room... should I go on...? |

Yes. I want to know what the perfect setup would be. Let's pretend that money and time are not an issue. Would a room that's shaped like an igloo be ideal? |

no, irregularity is the ideal... if you go to a proper concerthall, you'll notice that the walls most likely are made out of plates that slope in all directions, and the ceiling won't be flat. also, then for speakers, I'd go for electrostatic speakers (you'd best get the sub from the same people as the speakers, so their sub-tower, then)... Amplifier... some tube-amplified thing... there are many good, and I've honestly never listened to one, since they're mostly too expensive for the shops to have in store... either that, or two of s monoblocks... sources: for vinyl.. definately the . CD... maybe , but there are many good manufacturers out there... maybe the aforementioned Classé, to make the system match? |

Should the type of music be taken into consideration? Is there a setup that equally effective for say Autechre and Stockhausen? |

most likely, yes... but that's something I've never considered, since I don't have enough money for even one of the components to that system... if I had enough money (we're talking millions), I'd probably be buying stuff that I haven't even heard of yet... there are so many good companies I haven't heard of yet, and it's ONLY because they don't make consumer products.. they make exclusive systems that only filthy rich people can afford.. so there are definately better systems out there, but this is the best I can think up... after you've listened to electrostatic speakers, you'll go home and curse at your own speakers for not being as accurate! b&w nautilus is also close to heaven when it comes to speakers... |

Having your own sound room would be soo ace... Just sit in your state of the art lounge chair, turn the lights down and zone out. |

definately! what would also rock, would be to have a separate surround system with a projector (on the other side of the room or something... preferrably in its own room too, but then you couldn't just turn your chair around to watch movies...)! |
