You listen in your attic

Better the attic than the cellar. Heat rises and it's less damp than cellars can be. Plus the attic peak might be a good thing when compared to a square rectangular room. But access must be a PITA, especially for them loudspeakers.

I know I'd feel mighty comfortable up there myself.

Cheers,
Robin

After our little spat this is a nice surprise...the nice side of satfrat

If you are ever in S.F. you have an open invitation to the attic.

No surprise really AFAIC. As I had said in our PM's, I was more than willing to delete my post but it was you that didn't give me an opportunity to do so.

Even tho I'm very opinionated (as most of us are), that doesn't mean we can't get along.

I like that room alot but I can't say I'm a fan of drop stairs. Carrying a cup of coffee (or whatever) has got to be a PITA.

But them stairs are definitely an upgrade deterent. aa

Agreed. The drop stairs was the only option. Here is a photo during construction. I built the attic from this.

Looks like you're a pretty good carpenter, you did yourself proud with your "mancave". Myself, it's a 50-50 shot when using a hammer if the nail will be hit or my thumb instead.

The attic might make for some interesting acoustics. However, it would certainly limit what gear goes up. I couldn't imagine getting my SVS sub up there. Maybe you can rig a pulley system to get the monoblocks up there. Or, cross your fingers for development of some digital amps you like.

I can just picture it, the wife and kids come in the room beneath the attic looks like it's snowing indoors with all the plaster falling
