Hmm, I am thinking - - - -
That I need 10 of them---
Then I would place them in the center of the room -
Put a mattress on them, and use it as my main sleeping area.. (12x19x8)
Great for a massage...

Oh, actually - what was the question....:D

16x12x8. 2 doors (one blocked by subwoofer) and a Window on one 16 foot wall (door that isn't blocked on the other).

My room is Hella ugly, containing wood-board and plaster covered drywall with a bare concrete floor. I hope to tear it all down and re do it HT style some day, but I fear I may have moved out by then... :(

I just realized that I need US residence...



...damnit all to hell.

The room is 16x24 with a vaulted ceiling to 17'. The back is open to the kitchen and one side leads to the dining area. Two other hallways lead to bedrooms. A very open room that I'm just getting around to fill with Home Theater Equipment. I'll need a few coupons for two subs.

I listen with my mouth open...
My room is 12x16 and has and opening and door in front. Sub going there just disperses out the large opening to the kitchen and sounds muddy. The back wall has a set of windows on one side and does the same thing kinda when its open, so next to the couch on the wall with nothing, disperses great and everyone thats been over said, how is those little speakers so bassy. Look to the side of the couch, under the table, OOOOOOOHH!!

What are the approximate dimensions (HxWxD) of your music/home theater room (describe in detail any open floorplans, unique room features, etc).

16 x 20 x 10. It opens up 1/2 of a wall to the dining room and has a corner fireplace. There is 1/2 a wall open at the top that overlooks the foyer. and the open staircase sits between the dining room and the foyer. A true acoustical nightmare! I've got it set up so the openings are not much of a problem...so not that big of a deal. Oh, an I beam drops down a foot and cuts the room in half.

Finished basement media room, 15x22. Another one with an open staircase - this to the main floor. Subwoofer in upper left hand corner is about the best acoustical position.

Dedicated = Flexibility

I chose every answer in the poll because I can place subs wherever I want :) It's nice to be a single guy with a dedicated HT space.

Here is the layout of my room:

The position of furniture, etc has changed (due to the null right at the couch), but that's what the space looks like. My HK AVR-435 has done an admirable job dealing with room modes.

18x14x7.5 family room with a 5' opening in the NE corner into a 5000 cube dining kitchen area which opens to another 2000 cube living room. I have my sub corner loaded in my NW corner on concrete slab. I actually get great performance.

My home theater room is my living room. The approximate dimensions are 19'x17'x8'.

There is nothing special about the room itself. The entrance is to the front left, therefore, I need to place the sub to the front right. The rear has a huge sliding door, on which I use veritcal blinds to keep the light out. The seating is approximately 12' away from the RPTV.

I am currently using an all Athena speaker setup, including the AS-p400 sub. Although I think it is a great sub, I need something that will fill up the room more, and the VTF-3 MKII will be an excellent choice.

Contest Question: What are the approximate dimensions (HxWxD) of your music/home theater room (describe in detail any open floorplans, unique room features, etc).

approx. 13' X 21' X 8' Rectangle with the left rear corner cut off at a 45 degree. There are two open doorways and one door. A picture window with one double hung window on each end of it. (Typical rancher style living room with the 45 open door way)

I run a 5.1 system with the sub in the front left corner 6" off the long side wall and approx 18" - 24" off the short front wall that the TV is on. When I buy new speakers I will experiment with other locations which will include front left and right and to the left and right of the main LP along the side walls.

Come on 7's,

Contest Question: What are the approximate dimensions (HxWxD) of your music/home theater room (describe in detail any open floorplans, unique room features, etc).

My room is in the shape of a seven. I've got my system set up in the long rectangular section which is roughly 20.5' L x 15' W x 8' H. The leftover area is 9' W x 11' L x 8' H. Floor is carpeted. The couch is located about 11' from the tv.

One odd feature in my room is in the setup of my surround speakers. One of my windows is directly across from a wall that I wanted to use to mount the speaker. And, on the other surround, my laundry room door is across from the wall next to the window, so my surround speakers are not across from each other.

The best place for me is the front right corner of the seven.
