Title: HT3 Room Size?
Post by: LadyDog on 31 Oct 2005, 01:45 pm

Rob, George, Randy, et-al,
Curious what do you feel is the minimum size room the HT3's can go in without suffering sound wise?

I was originally going to put mine down in the basement with more than enough space(1000+ sq ft) but am leaning to my den which is a 17x15(?) room.

Yes I know I should ask Jim this but I have bugged him enough this past week with all my questions.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Regards,
Jeff

Jeff, that might be a tough room without some bass traps.  

If you decide to bi-amp, you could always reduce the gain and EQ the lows.

I heard them in a smallish hotel room and the bass was a bit strong vs the mid/tweets.  The HT1's sounded VERY nice in the same size room.

Thanks Rob.  That's what I was thinking and/or afraid of.  Either stick them down my basement and deal with the potential hassles or reconsider the QW.

Jeff

Rob,
Would love to but I think Jim has enough of my business with some 1801f's and either QW or HT3's.  :D

Thanks for the pm info!

Regards,
Jeff

LazyDog,
I have my HT'3 in a room that is 13 ft. W x 20 ft. long  with another 11 feet extending into the dining room equaling 31 ft. Long total and these things sound fantastic. After listening to these speaker for a while, I just get so spoiled that I can't stand listening to my other speaker systems. Can't say enough about how great these speakers sound.

Lee,
Don't sweat it, I'm sure my wife has called me worse.  :lol:

Thanks for the input on your room because I forgot to add that my room does have an extension like yours that may add another 13x14'.

Regards,
Jeff

I think you would be ok with the proper room treatment and placement (especially if you have it opening up into anothe room).
