Ha ha! make sure no-one sends you screw-on caps instead of corks, Charles!
So what constitutes the 'proper' or 'perfect' room for HT. Unless someone is building a dedicated home theatre from scratch, we've got to work with what we've got. My room (actually a family room) is abooot (couldn't resist) 20 ft x 14 ft with 8ft ceiling. The floors are 3/4 hardwood covered with an 11x9 thick wool rug, side wall on the 20 ft has two glass doors, oposite wall is clear (drywall), the 14 ft wall at one end is mostly fireplace and at the oposite end the room opens diagonally on both sides to hallway/breakfast area. Does this sound like a nightmare for HT? I think I need to empty a few bottles myself before I tackle this one.
