Okay, way too much info. I'd like everyone who has weighed in to get into the same room this week and come up with the best, most cost effective solution for me! And don't come out until you have one. I will sit here patiently waiting. lol
Bass traps - too many choices!!
Browsed the forum and read a lot regarding bass traps. But overwhelming and still not sure what to buy. Looked at the ASC site; and their tube traps are tuned to different frequencies. eBay sells foam wedges which are advertised as corner bass traps. Relatively inexpensive too. But are they effective? I've also heard about using sand-filled cardboard tubes (used for pouring concrete). Even heard that a large potted plant set in the corner can be an effective bass trap.
Can anyone simplify this? I already have Room Tunes in my corners. Speakers are on the diagonal as my listening room is kinda squarish. So I'm just looking to put a bass trap in the corner behind and between the two speakers. But I want to make sure that whatever I buy is effective.

rockeyboy:, You're asking too much. I've found that on most issues, especially room acoustics... it's a very personal choice. All one can do is report on their findings in their specific room. Asking others to somehow make a recommendation that will fulfill your specific needs is a false question. (I recently ordered a pair of Vicoustic Extreme Bass Panels.),..... point being, this is what I felt was right for my room. we'll see....? |
Another vote for
Auralex LENRD Bass Traps. They do a great job of breaking up the reinforcements that occured in the corners of my room. eBay lists a version that is much cheaper and I see no reason that they wouldn't work as well. Note the configuration, compared to Auralex's: (http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Pack-Corner-Bass-Trap-Acoustic-Foam-Sound-Proffing-Pro-Audio-12X12X24Inche...)
