Yep, at least one Stereophile reviewer has no room treatments at all, and constantly bemoans the poor bass response in his room, but that's how he reviews $100k+ speakers.

A suggestion for those who put blankets over there big screen TVs. I bought a piece of 2in Pyramid foam, cut it to size, put three 3in velcro straps on it. They come with adhesive, but then you need to put something on the adhesive strap part. And the adhesive doesn't hold well, so I sewed them on, just some stitches in no special pattern other than coming through between the pyramids. Put a few pieces of the other side of the velcro, the grabby side, on the top edge and back of the TV. When watching TV, I placed three small squares on my CD shelves. On a 56in HDTV the velcro lines up nicely in three places on the CD shelves. It takes about 20 seconds to remove or install. No more problems with big reflective screen. I went with 2in, if I ever change TVs, I would probably go with 3 or 4in. It helped with soundstage, depth, and to me just overall improved the sound. I bought the foam here [very reasonable prices]: http://www.foambymail.com/acoustical-foam-products.html One piece of 48in x 72in was $35 plus shipping. I had a few pieces left over that I placed in areas that I felt could benefit. |
My mother made me a quilt wall hanging, beautiful piece of art. And I hung it behind my listening position, and it made a very positive improvement to the sound. A friend of mine has a tapestry that's been in his family for generations, behind and between the speakers, I haven't heard the room without it, but it does seem to be a well damped room. Looks a lot better than egg cartons stapled all over the room! |
