How would you rate your listening room?

Worldcup86, it is hard to say cause it depends on many factors. One of the things that seems to play a big role are the normal bass modes of your room, which are determined by the height, length and width of the room.

In your room, you would have 'doubles' on 141, 188 and 283 Hz, with wide mode spacing at 70, 141, 188, 211 and 263 hZ. It is my understanding that the co-existance of doubles and wide mode spacing at the same frequencies can cause an audible problem, so you might find bass a bit uneven and diifult to control.

I am just recently starting to get a handle on all of this, so anyone that has more input feel free to augment or correct as you see fit.

You mean my closet? D+ (I use monitors as headphones, sounds good, but for some reason my neck hurts.)

Albert: There was positive talk of Linn in wall speakers a while back which you may want to look into. Linn has a good track record with standard box speakers that work well when positioned close to the front wall, such as the Index and Kan models. I find my horse shoe shaped room too difficult to describe in the thread, but may post photos if I can get my wife to shoot them (I can't be around camera flashes). I would love to have some feedback on it before I relocate the equipment. I would rate it as the worst room that I have ever had (short of a dorm room), but it's still OK. I have taken up listening in the near field on some of the nights that my wife retires early.

Given some of the above mentioned threads. Iam afraid to say.
My house here on guam is a concrete bunker.The listening room is 13ft x39ft with 10ft. ceilings.On the back wall i took 1 in thick carpet pad made of wool. then hung carpet over the pad. on top of that is cotton fabric to decorate.
the first 12 ft on the side is the same has back wall. In front of the speaker,s is a thick oriental rug. On the ceiling,s i bought 2 in. thick foam and covered the first 12ft. has well.All this caused too much absorption at first. then i made some reflection pannels. 1/2 plywood with 1 1/2 thick fiberglass sheets covered with cotton cloth.
Has of tonight|||| the soundstage is great. lots of air between instruments.It,s an on going education, just when things make sence, i read some thread here on audiogon and iam off trying it.I love all the tweaking .
where,s that shrink?

My room used to suck big time due to a very odd shape and open space into the hall on one side and another room without wall on the other side, not to mention high and slanted ceiling following the roof line. Nothing I tried worked until I tried TACT RCS 2.0 It's a great unit which cured all the ills and I didn't have to "decorate" my room with all the absorbing/reflecting/difracting, etc. panels or tubes.
