Hi, I'm renovating a flat and I've got a good rectangle for my audio room.
I was very happy with the measurements until I started looking at tutorials and I don't seem to have a good rectangle.
The room measures are about 3.6m x 6.8m and the ceiling is about 2.70m.
It is possible that one of the long walls is 80% covered by my vinyl collection, so 35cm would have to be subtracted from the width.
I would like to know if I should be concerned about the width of the room and, based on your experience, what problems I may encounter. I could "steal" 20/25cm from the living room but I don't know if it would make sense to move a wall that is already up only for those cm.
Thank you all!
 
Split the vinyl collection in half and put on each long wall at the rear away from the speakers. Set up the system and see how it sounds before doing any demolition to gain a few inches.
 
That's what I was suggesting. Speakers on one short wall, vinyl divided in half and at the rear end of the long wall on each side. This way most of the vinyl will be at or behind your seating position. Depending on the size of your speakers this should give you plenty of room to get a decent placement of the speakers with them about 7 feet a part center to center and a reasonable distance from the wall behind them.
 
Room dimensions in rectangular rooms support standing waves that can not be easily eliminated. The ideal situation is to ensure that these room modes are distributed as evenly as possible and don't overlap. A room mode calculator will tell you if you "may" have a problem. I say "may" because I've found that there are so many other variables like the type of construction, floor coverings, window coverings, furnishings and equipment placement that in the end make more difference than the room dimensions themselves.
