"...BTW, purely hypothetically, Jessie, if you have a long harrow room then did you consider to put your bass horns vertically, facing them mouth up, pretending that they are large vases? It might be a new kinky surreal home decor and you can make the things hang from the edge of the mouths like some kind of odd chandeliers…. The jungle plants and monkeys come to my mind…."

The ceilings in my current place are about 9.5ft high, so if I were to stand the large horns on end, they'd be firing immediately into a flat surface. They are designed to take advantage of a standard 8ft high ceiling (when firing toward the listener) for maximum coupling with the room, so that is what I'll be looking for.

Also, I'm convinced that a too-big space is horrible for audio as well as being non-conducive to good mental concentration (some of the best ideas are born on the toilet!)

Those Boston lofts may require lowering the ceiling/adding a second level. Quite easy to do if you keep with an "industrial" theme.

"...my audio demands for real-estate are WAY more ugly them my out of audio demands for home..."

I have almost no "normal living requirements"... Give me a non-preformatted space and somewhere to fire up the barbeque and I'll be just fine. Ideally, I'd buy a bare piece of land, pour a slab, and build a place from cinder blocks (maybe Paul could start a side business cranking out these little churches!).
