Setting up brand new room for JBL 4350's

[Rolf]

If you can't get enough volume, double up.

Hi TD. On the left of the double 4350's, is it an AR LST?

For many years ago it was one of my dream speakers. (D'oh)

Where do you put your super-heroes if you mount them in soffits?

I was thinking the same thing, BUT all the AR LSTs I've ever seen had white or light colored grille cloth, and they also had the logo on the right of the front panel and an L-pad on the left of the front panel.

This speaker has dark cloth, and it seems to have the logo at the center bottom with no L-pad. :dont-know

Hi. Here are three photos. The first one shows the south wall, where the white 4350's are going to be setup as a listening stereo system, and possibly mixing. The second photo is the north wall, where my workstation for mixing and editing is, including the Genelec nearfield monitors. I also have a pair of Black PA JBL for band practise, but disregard that. Also, I will have a stero pair of Marshall cabinets with 4x12's for my guitar system, which I think I will mount above the JBL PA speakers. Lastly, the third photo shows the ceiling. I used I wide angle, so i think it makes the ceiling look a little bigger than it really is.
So please let me know what you guys think. As I said, I'm thinking a fairly neutral room, because I don't need a super bright for recording as I like to add reverb and delay via plugins.
Also, and importantly, should I setup a curtain on the north wall that would go across the entire wall and hide all the recording gear and genelec/jbl/marshall cabs for both aestethics and to remove the rflections from the 4350's facing on the other wall when I'm in listening mode?

Sorry, no time to write a detailed post right now (I'm "busy" at a convention in New Orleans), but I will get back in a week or so with some thoughts. In the mean time, please measure and post the exact dimensions of the room. If you could sketch floor plan, and annotate the various widths, depths, and average height that would be very helpful for analysis.

In the mean time, if you want to do some additional reading, please feel free to have a look at an article that I wrote for our London HiFi club a few years ago. One of the members posted a similar question on building a dedicated listening room, and so I wrote up a short article documenting my own experience designing a listening space back in Calgary.

What on earth made this guy do this?

I could not handle looking up that high to view such a small television.

What on earth made this guy do this?

I was gonna say "Adolescence," but there's just one mid, VHF and UHF per side....

[And all them woofs're in phase, we presume.... ]

[SJOSTRAND]

Is that what they call a wall of sound ??

[Titanium Dome]

Is that what they call a wall of sound ??

Maybe more like a "wall of confusion" (apologies to the Temptations and Ball of Confusion) or a "power of babel" (apologies to Moses, author, and the builders of the Tower of Babel).

[Zilch]

Is that what they call a wall of sound ??

Yup.

Unlike most, this one is well executed.

[The "sound" part, at least....]
