Try this free tweak - Speaker Slumber Party!


Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to make a suggestion. Something fun/free to try that may get you interested in room acoustic treatments. Take all your bedroom pillows and throw them on the floor between your speakers. 

What happens? :) 

Best,

Erik, please, please don't add to the things that need tweaking and long, critical listening sessions.

I'm worried about the fabric of the pillows. Cotton over silk? Synthetic to eke out the best bass. Sub fabric frequencies....Egyptian cotton over Chinese silk???? I really don't want to collapse the soundstage with cheap imitation crap.

Will Higher thread count induce earlier fatigue? 

The size...do Kings knockout Queens? Game of Thrones I do not want in my listening room.

I've been researching filler...Mr. My Pillow swears that his are washable and readjustable. Does this require a burn in period after each wash?

Will Bamboo sound too harsh since it is sustainably farmed and not wild grown????

Does Memory Foam and cooling gel make for deeper blacks?

And does one's head positon on the pillow need to be in the sweet spot???

It is just something to try, not to live with guys.

And while I appreciate the humor, unlike most tweaks, this is based on science and experience. I'm hoping that trying out something for free will help people discover the importance of room acoustic treatment, and seek solutions from reputable providers.

Best,

Actually, not sure if it ultimately helps, but I have stuffed animals and hard-stuffed pillows stuck behind some Owens 703FRK panels in my front corners.  Figure more cotton-based stuffing would be better for lower frequency response. lol.
