Home Theater Enclosure Problem?


Is it possible that a solid wood (pine) enclosure could effect the sound of my HT? As mentioned in other posts, I have trouble understanding dialog in movies. Thanks

Absolutely. It has little absorption. Depending on the size of the room you probably have reverberation times that are triple what you would like to have. In addition to that the pine could have a resonance frequency that creates more problems.
Wood resonates. That's one of the reasons why it's a pretty good building material for acoustic instruments. You're probably getting resonances at critical mid-range frequencies, where most vocal frequencies reside and where the human ear is particularly sensitive.
