If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?

Another nonsense thread by the Op

@emergingsoul  "As far as me getting by with all my audio equipment I certainly don’t do it myself."

Sounds like you have someone who could set up a virtual system page for you

Ops Opening thread post:

"I think people go nuts with all this absorption acoustical room treatment stuff and it looks kind of awful. ..... But to have a system that works really well without any of the acoustical panel distractions is a wonderful thing."

Response to milpai:

"Treatments consist of corner base traps extending up to the ceiling, a couple absorption panels throughout the room,"

Anyone surprised?

@emergingsoul

"I have a bass trap in the corner otherwise minimally treated room .

I’m a big fan of getting rid of reverbs so one absorption panel is on the far wall"

A week ago you mentioned plural of both

"Treatments consist of corner base traps extending up to the ceiling, a couple absorption panels throughout the room"

"’i’m a big fan of getting rid of reverbs so one absorption panel is on the far wall but so hard to determine what it really does in the scheme of everything else in the room"

On the surface it would seem that you should be able to hear the differences in the room as furnished with and without the panel(s)/traps{s)  Is there something that prevents that? Also, would you not be able to take measurements with your dirac with and without to gauge the impacts?

@emergingsoul

"Why is everybody so dependent upon what dirac says?"

Well, you stated this in a prior post hence the question I raised

"Using dirac, I did acoustical measurements and the original curve versus DSP were very similar. It got a bit smoother. ....Would love to know if other people test their rooms before and after doing acoustical panels and how the curve changes."

Care to explain, or simply deflect as ususal?

"Adding an additional absorption panel in a 20 x 18 room that’s furnished is extremely hard to discern. Maybe Superman hearing would do it."

Seriously?

"in all fairness I think people go a bit neurotic when it comes to sound treating their rooms especially when they are furnished."

But supposedly you have "Treatments consist of corner base traps extending up to the ceiling, a couple absorption panels throughout the room" Or , is it this version "I have a bass trap in the corner otherwise minimally treated room .I’m a big fan of getting rid of reverbs so one absorption panel is on the far wall"

@emergingsoul

"Adding an additional absorption panel in a 20 x 18 room that’s furnished is extremely hard to discern. Maybe Superman hearing would do it."

"Reaching to a textbook to help figure out whether a situation sounds good or not may be helpful to some but I trust my ears to tell me what’s going on.....My curve for the subs seems perfect, I guess you could say this is a helpful confirmation but I really didn’t need to see it based on what I was hearing. I’ve learned to trust what I can hear."

One minute you state you need Superman hearing to determine the impacts the next you’ve learned to trust what you hear. You constantly contradict yourself ,and frankly dig yourself deeper in the lack of credibility hole.

And the Academy Awards blathering and whining goes to

Op despite your operating under the misery loves company mantra it’s not welcomed

@emergingsoul You are the one with threads and posts whining about anything and everything with no loss for the melodramatic.

What’s really ridiculous about this repeated whine of yours is that you act like they are running blowers 24/7. It takes all of a few minutes for clean up once a week.. Surprised that you aren’t calling for everyone to get on their knees and hand clip the lawn versus using mowers. The horror of it all.
