The room is 11'10" by 12' (361cm by 366cm). One of the shorter walls has an additional 7'7" wide 2'3" deep bay window (231 by 68). The other shorter wall houses the speakers. They are 5'5" (165) apart, with a 4'5" (135) wide wooden sideboard inbetween. The room also has a 5'3" by 2'11" (160 by 99) wooden dining table with 5 small wooden chairs. There are two cane (conservatory style) chairs where the bay window is. The ceiling is high (I am six foot and have to stnad slightly on tiptoe to touch it). I know its not your textbook setup, but it is a dining room, and I do share my house with my wife, so the furniture does have to stay.... Mind you, I don't notice any echo when I clap. The comment about floorstanders is interesting though, as there is not a great deal of space between my speakers and the sideboard. -- PLynas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PLynas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11960 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43944 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
