Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless

Bryan states there are many DIY sources for treating your room. The specs I followed are laid out by Anthony Grimani and then I tailored them for my room with the help of Wilfried Van Baelen. The specs for Anthony’s DIY acoustic treatment recipe is laid out in the diagram below. Bass traps in the corners and then combo panels on the front wall. The side walls alternate with diffusors and absorbers but do NOT mirror each other. You’ll notice if you have a diffusor on the left wall there will be an absorber on the opposite wall. 2D diffusors in the front of the room, 3D diffusors in back. Anthony recommends absorbers in the front half of the ceiling and 3D diffusors on the ceiling in back. Wilfried felt you should include bass traps on the ceiling. I found the Auralex Geofusors a perfect workaround. It is a 3D diffusor that can be back filled with absorption and double as a bass trap. I placed the Geofusors above the MLP. I hung an acoustic cloud of the Auralex Sustain Lens diffusors where you see the 3D ceiling diffusors in the diagram below. The cloud hangs perfectly beneath my PJ. Here is a diagram of Anthony’s specs for room treatment that I used for my room. IMO these are the specs that matter because unless you get them right the specs of your gear don’t matter, just like the title of this thread:

@amir_asr you said:

No, I am a private person and don’t want to walk around bragging about my own system. I only post it out of necessity where a test requires it as it did here:

Almost all reviews include a list of the writers reference system components, the test conditions the equipment was used in, the content played during the review, comparisons to equipment from competitors, and possibly measurements.

No one would consider you listing and posting the above bragging, it is generally required if you check around.

If you need help setting up the proper test conditions in your room check with The Dolby Institute:

@coralkong , “This will be my last post to you.

You are acting like a petulant child. Go away, I'm not buying your BS, and no how many times you feel the need to get the last word, I don’t agree with you.”

+1 me as well.

@ghdprentice ..."I would not begin to consider evaluating a single new component without listening to it for a couple months. This would be only after being completely familiar with my system without change for months… many months. ...

Exactly.

OMG people... Stop Feeding the Trolls!
