Just wanted to mention one more thing, if you can accommodate it, for your listening pleasure. The reflection points may be a bother and it would be a good idea to put some soft hanging (if an acoustic panel is impossible due to WAF) on the wall to your left as you sit facing the speakers. Additionally you would truly benefit from a carpet which stretches to the floor in front of the speakers.
I used to listen to a room also which had similar dimensions (5 x 4 m) and a slightly higher ceiling (4m+) and the echo was a very real issue making the whole too "live" and eventually fatiguing. The panels that I have all around my listening space, which some FMs have seen, are a direct left over of eventually doing all I could to tame the space and improve my listening experience many fold. All the best!

Great idea, will try the wall hangers (w.a.f. is a dependency). There are 2 huge curtains in the design, one covering the entire length of the door (and french windows) to the balcony and the other covering the huge window (on the side of the rig). Will try some soft hanging panels on the other side wall. Lets see how this goes, currently saving up for the furnishing. And yes, the live performance sound exists to a certain extent for now. Guess that will go away once these hangers come into place.
A beautiful home in a beautiful location.
Congratulations. I would be coming down to tvm by this Sept/Oct (probably after Onam).
I can visit your place if you would allow to. Listen to couple of tracks too!
Let me know. PM me your contact.
Enjoy music. There is no alternative when immersed in music trance.

@reubensm - Since all the good things have already been said, even at the cost of repetition i'll say- fantastic! Your love for music is genuine & true, because you not only dreamt to have a place built around your music, but also worked hard to realize your dream. Speakers on both side of the door is a fantastic idea which many of us do not think, as we always think of a TV/screen between the speakers. And the surroundings!! OOOOh! You can use your speakers to their fullest potential, without hurting your neighbors.BTW, did you notice any difference in sound with the balcony doors closed and opened? Congratulations, again.

thanks so much for the kind words, yes a lot of thought had gone into the house and honestly, i did not think about budgetary aspects when the listening space and the balcony were designed. Another interesting facet of the house is that the car porch is below the house (copied from American designs), which is just below my living room on the ground floor.
Yes, the door idea is something we always had. Actually the original design had a huge indoor swinging seat (like one finds in old havelis) where one could sit, facing the speakers and the valley below but we had to drop the swinging seat because wify wanted the floor space to be open.
I did try the open door/closed door approach last night. The imagery moves to the wall of the planters on the balcony when the door is opened and appears to remain inside the room when the door is closed. Might be my imagination but thought it was what I heard. I tried opening and closing the French windows too but could not find any significant impact. Guess the windows are too narrow to make a significant impact.

Re: Bose 1705 + DIY Speaker + PC(Onkyo 200PCI)
very nice, tiger0691
was wondering what the distance between your two speakers might be. have been doing some experiments on this front with the valuable guidance of our fellow forum members.
