Room acoustics

GIK is more than ok, they are outstanding and a great value. I could not recommend them more highly and I have owned far more expensive treatment.

Treat the first and second side reflection points with the 2 or 4 inch panels. What speakers do you own as I can help you with the wall behind the speakers.

We really need to know how close the speakers will be to the room boundaries to really help.

I certainly appreciate your interest, I'll do my best to give the details.

The living room is 20'x20', kitchen extends 20', dining 10' more.
"A" marks potential panels, BT = base traps

Are more products needed? We have hardwood floors but have large rugs. The blinds will be changed to a fabric. I know the "tv in front of the window" seems odd but with my measurements the reflections will be addressed. Well, I hope this information can help.

It wouuld also help to know something about the problems. I took "living space of echos" to indicate problems with a large, underdamped/underdiffused space, quite possibly with some very reflective tile and such in the kitchen. As a general rule, the larger the space the more damping you need, but the less bass trapping, and the better it will ultimately sound.

I just spent the time putting in a room diagram but apparently the soft ware here scrambled all the info. Oh well, I'll call Jim.
