So it sounds like you're considering a move...

Yep, I am contemplating this now…

Criteria : 1) Main room minimum 80m2 with correct length-to-width ratio 2) No mid-room obstructions (no poles, columns, or other supports) 3) Absence of street noise 3) Ground floor That's all I dared ask for.

Yes, I have in way similar criteria. 1 sq meter = 10.8 sq feet, so you are talking about approximately 900-1000 sq feet.  Of a single room. That is pretty much the dimension that I am looking for. A minor thing that the rooms (lofts) of this size frequently comes in Boston with 43-50 foot ceilings.  This might be a bitch as it is extremely difficult to make such rooms to work well. You need a lot of power and anal or of exertion to feel such a volume with bass and we are vey beyond the SET capacity to do this. I would rather prefer to have moderate 15 foot ceilings.

I spent 4 or 5 months trying to find such a place, but in Paris, large spaces are often divided up into small spaces in the interest of maximizing financial gain.

Yes, the same is in Boston but I am considering buying not renting so I perfectly intend to tear down the walls… I hate the compartmentalized rooms and dummy corridors as well.

I can position the large horns (which are in fact 40Hz horns) only if willing to accept toeing them in way more than I'd like.

Well, I was conserving to leave a part of the 40Hz horn outside of the walls… anyhow, the subject of real-estate and the bass horn is kind of funny and I think it very well might deserve own dedicated thread.

I look at this audio thing as something that takes time, and I'm OK with that as long as I don't go wasting any of it. It has taken time, but I feel I've moved relatively efficiently; in any case, this is not a passing interest, and as such, its impossible to over-invest. I do however need to get the project done while there's still time left in life to sit down and properly use it!

Well, you do not need to tell me about it. Anyhow, what I see is that my audio demands for real-estate are WAY more ugly them my out of audio demands for home. The last thing would be looking proportion with reverberation time tester and specter analyzer.  Unfortunately with my consulting occupation I need to be in specific area…. That adds insult to injury….
