Room improvement

Adjusting my ears to the speaker and room worked perfect and cost nothing.

Oh, it does. It’s mentally fatiguing. At least for me. There are some interesting articles i keep meaning to pursue about the dual streams of information our brain perceives, and how much effort is involved in filtering out the room acoustics and noise.


I specifically use my stereo to relax my brain from this in-office sound brain fatigue. Can’t do it in a live room. But I know from talking and listening to many audiophiles that for a lot of them it's a non issue.

Audiomaze- start with the basics.  FIRST thing you need to do ( once the speakers are in place and with Maggies, that will take a LOT of experimentation) is to get a decent microphone and do some rudimentary analysis of the room with a test disc/cd.  Once you know what you have, then you can begin to level out the peaks with treatments/furnishings, etc.  As a basic, with Maggies, you want some diffusion on the wall behind the speakers and in your case, get a 4" foam cushion to sit on which (hopefully) will raise your ear height and eliminate the back of the couch reflections.  I would not try to "fix" problems that you can't identify from the tests- it is a waste of time and money.  Good Luck!

Another vote for GIK - fantastic company!
