Acoustic treatment ideas
Hoping someone out there has a similar situation they have solved or mitigated.
I have an open floor plan with acoustic panels on several walls, nothing on the 8ft ceiling, and several reflective surfaces.
TV between speakers on the wall
large picture window, and French doors on back wall (not directly behind speakers), glass door china cabinet on right wall, no window treatments.
rear wall which is entrance to the house has 2 large picture windows with blinds.
If I hang blankets over the cabinet, tv and rear wall windows I definitely hear an improvement- much better sound stage, but it’s a pain and looks awful.
There is a pic in my v system that shows some of the room
ideally it would be something that could be remove like acoustic fabric if such a thing exists rather than curtains etc.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance!
Here's what I came up with. Two 23x23x10 GIK full-range Sound Blocks on the floor behind the speakers. Big improvement. Removable/temporary items: Custom made black quilted cover for TV from Digital Deck Covers. Doesn't look terrible and it is quick and easy to add/remove. Makes a big difference on it's own. "Velvet" curtains for the china cabinet, window and french doors on same wall as system. Treating the main reflective surfaces really improves imaging - specifically spatial accuracy / separation of instruments/vocals. $600 all in. The removeable stuff takes 5 minutes to set up. John at GIK was very helpful and did not try "over-sell" me. Thanks for the advice.

@macg19 I was about to recommend working with GIK. One other thing Inwas going to suggest is to pull the speakers out into the room a bit more and see if you get any improvement |
@jastralfu thanks for the tip. Can you recommend an adequate mic? |
