OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!.


Just wanted to let my friends on Audiogon know - my wife was gone this week - I moved a LAMP in my living room - Sound stage widened by 4 feet. Mid and high end much cleaner.

Room Treatments do matter. 

Wish me luck - she gets home in 3 hours!

Enjoy the music - I am amazed at my playlists - like a new and improved system!

I had a good divorce. She got rid of my butt and I kept my stereo.

I don’t see why you can’t move the lamp when you listen. BESURE to move it back. Don’t wanna be poking at the dragon. Speaking of poking the dragon,,,,

@knotscott Guess its because she holds the keys to the magic sugar bowl.

AND SHE KNOWS IT!!!!

Who are all of these men that are so afraid of their women? Afraid to move a lamp or throw pillow? It is our house too.

This milquetoast mentality puzzles me as well. There was an interesting discussion about it on Reddit a few months ago.

When it comes to the environment the most important thing in my experience has been to live in a house made out of wood.  My first house was brick and plaster.  It was impossible to get good sound there.  I made dozens of bass traps and lots of other sound absorbers.  I measured it and used eq to make it measure flat.  Nothing I did made it good enough for me.  Now, several houses later I'm in a big old wood frame house.  Not great construction quality.  But it sounds good.  The reflections exist but they don't bother me.
