Best room treatment
Good day everyone. While I’m waiting for my system to arrive I’m turning my attention to treating our not so good 2 story family room that it will be installed in. There are quite a few brands out there. My question is can anyone who has tried the various brands recommend the ones that work the best for absorption and diffusion. Thank you

I highly recommend reading “Premium Home Theater” by Earl Geddes that I believe is now only available through download. By far the most approachable and helpful thing I’ve read on creating a good-sounding room. I’d go so far as to say delay making any room treatment purchases until you’ve read what Earl has to say. Best of luck. |
From my own experience, I started out with GIK. Some of their recommendations were spot on, like bass traps in each corner but I opted for the limiter versions (doesn't absorb anything over 500 hz) which I don't regret at all. However their recommendation for strictly absorbing panels on first reflection points did not work for me. Overall IMO they oversell absorbing over diffusing for a listening room. After adding many diffusers I finally found the perfect balance to my ears between a dead room and a live one. Trial and error will be inevitable no matter who recommends what for you. Check out my system to get a better idea of what worked for me. I ended up with 72 sq ft of absorbing panels and 84 sq ft of diffuser plus the floor to ceiling bass traps in all 4 corners. Have fun figuring it out. The journey is totally worth it. |

Some of the video system information is outdated but virtually everything else is STILL well ahead of the curve: http://www.gedlee.com/Books/HomeTheater.aspx Duke |
