For a quick good time, blankets...

Interesting thread. Will the blankets stop "slap echo?" Moved into a new home in AZ.  Unfortunately, my listening room is 16' by 16' square, 9 foot ceiling, wall to wall carpet, some drapes. Seems like the slap echo problem is somewhere near  the ceiling edges. I think.....

I forgot to mention my biggest nemesis:

The Coffee Table

I can't really live without one, but when I remember to remove it things get much better.

Well, again, blankets were just a suggestion for skeptics and the inexperienced to learn about room acoustics experimentally. It's not actually THE recommended solution. However, I can see if you are into quilts or museum quality tapestries it might be! :)

For detailed help, and a range of products, contact GIK Acoustics. Great prices, advice and really effective and attractive tools.

Yes, the coffee table!
I got rid of mine, and it helped, a lot.
But, mine is a dedicated room. Easy to ditch something pretty when WAF doesn't come into play...

I have a glass coffee table right in front of my listening sweet spot…I put a couple of throw pillows on top (covering 90% of the thing, and 100% of the area that would reflect anything into my ear balls), problem solved. And, I can then put my feet on it more comfortably which allows me to use my feet to reflect small bits of treble waves elsewhere, or simply absorb the waves into my socks.
