Room Too Dead


Hello All,

I am looking for advice and ideas on how to condition my Home Theater room.  I built the theater in my unfinished basement.  The foundation walls are covered in insulation and vapor barrier.  Instead of construction walls to cover them, I chose a "pipe and drape" to cover the walls.  I believe that the room is too dead.  It seems to affect overall soundstage in the midrange range.  Does anybody have experience with this problem and ideas to add a little "excitement" to the room?  Thank you all.

Unless experimenting with different methods of controlling your room is part of the fun for you I wound highly recommend consulting an acoustician for the best results   There are members here who have spent years trying to dial in their rooms which is something I wouldn’t like to do. Jeff at hdacoustics is very good and his pricing is very reasonable. Good luck!

+1 on too many reflections distorting  the signal. It’s better to be over absorbed than under absorbed.
