“Club room” in basement

[OutPut2.0]

I’m a 46 yr old NJ resident with an incredible wife and 3 beautiful kids. I have a chronic pain condition called CRPS so I’m in constant pain. I discovered several years ago that amazing music with top notch sound systems is my best medicine. We would go all over, especially in NYC, and find the best clubs and venues every couple of months. Output in Brooklyn was our go to. Hands down one of the best sound systems (and people) in the world! Those few hours every couple of months was such a necessity for us. When Output closed, we were heartbroken. It’s also impossible for us to go anywhere with a 1 year old, so I’ve decided that we need to turn part of our basement into an Outputlike atmosphere. It would bring me tons of pain relief and so much joy for all of my family going forward. Need someone we can trust 1000% who can take care of setting the whole thing up for us. Please let me know if there’s anyone out there who could do so! Email me at wcapalbo@gmail.com if you can.
Thanks much!!

Do you want this to sound like a full-on nightclub? That is, top tier loud? Most clubs use quality professional speakers vs. home speakers. So, it's a fair bit of change. The sound from these speakers can still be very good, but it will depend on the size of room you are in. I've had people who have really spoken of how much they want quality, but they really want 'LOUD' and very high dB over the speaker qualtiy.

That's not a bad thing as you still get 90%+ of the speaker quality with these pro speaker designs. But, you get way more volume.

So, a pair of speakers like these...

KW153

The KW153 by QSC, sets a new standard for wood enclosure active loudspeaker systems

Along with a subwoofer or two (or more) in the room to really make the house shake...

KS118

For far more refined sound and nearly as high of output, you might be into the better KEF, B&W, or other brands. Paired up with the top of the line SVS subwoofer..

SB16-Ultra Subwoofer | SVS

Immense power, bottomless low frequency extension, pitch perfect accuracy and pinpoint speed in transients.

or two.

Much appreciated response. I’m looking more for perfection in sound. Yes I want loud, but want excellent quality. I guess I should specify that I’m looking for someone to come and literally do the whole job as I have zero knowledge or experience. Want to wall area off in basement with sick soundproofing, sound system, lighting and possibly even a dj booth/setup. It would be a small space (like 400 to 500 sq ft), but want it to feel, sound, and look like it did at Output. Anyone local who could provide this service would be awesome. Thanks again for the info and your response!!

You will probably need to hire an acoustician for that kind of work. A knowledgeable, certified acoustician won't be cheap.

Never even heard of that title, so much appreciated, sir. Hoping the pain relief is same as when I went to OutPut with their Funktion One(?) system. Seems like you guys are heading me in the right direction. Thank you so very much!
