Okay, not exactly a house... or anyone's dream palace... but an Octagonal Lounge!

Can you imagine the sound quality of the living room? Almost no parallel sides, ground floor, and a raised roof. The only thing better would be a room with no parallel sides and no dimension twice as long as another.

So, which of you can afford £189K as a second home just for your HiFi listening?
(No, its NOT mine, but it is only about 20 miles away).

I'll have to stick with my GIK Acoustics panels and my bouncy wooden floors.

The "music room" section is effectively detatched, so at £189K in Hemel Hempstead this is a bargain!

This gets my vote for most original post of the week.

Now that's what I call a serious tweak...

An octagon is even closer to a circle than a square. In a circle all horizontal dimensions are identical so just perfect for extreme room modes. During the baroque octagons were somewhat an architectural fashion for sacral buildings. I have seen quite a lot of them, beautiful but bad acoustics.

I thought non-flat surfaces were Good. Isn't that why Eclipse and Cabasse make spherical speakers?
