Transitional change – Bedroom turns Media Room<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a short while, I moved the bed to the cinema room, keeping the video components intact for the time being. This was done to empty the small former bedroom to function solely as a computer media room so that the computer setup could be removed from the living room. The new Media Room had the ambience of a video edit suite and was quite nice but I still felt trapped in the small room and longed for more space as well as being connected more directly to the other areas of the appartment.<\/p>\n

I have\u00a0used Harman Kardon GLA-55 active speakers for my everyday non-critical PC stuff for quite some time. These speakers use DSP and digital amplification to overcome some of the enclosure’s inherent limitations. They have incredible bass and don’t need a subwoofer at all. The sound really is much, much better than you’d expect: quite open and detailed and especially spacious, with remarkably deep but non-boomy bass. However, in this small room, the bass was boomy at certain frequencies: yup, I had some terrible room modes. This only gave me more reason to break down some walls…<\/p>\n

Now, the Cinema Room and bedroom aka Media Room were to be combined with the hallway to create one large space. Read all about it on the next page!<\/p>\n
