Room improvement

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! 

Thanks Jwpstayman , very helpful info.I will work on those suggestions. 

Hi everyone, I am trying to optimize the sound in my room.
i have a pair of kef blade 2.
i talked to asc in Oregon and they r helping me with suggestions . We did a Matt test recording and they reviewed the acoustics in my room.
anyone has any experience with that company . Any recommendations appreciated 

For 41 years, my room was a 1100 sq ft area of a warehouse loft, with 9 ft tall brick walls, tin ceiling, hardwood floor, and 4 x 6 ft windows.

For about 9 months now, the room is an attic in a brownstone with a peaked roof, a gable, two dormers, 3 small windows, and hardwood floors. The walls are of varying height, from 3 ft to 12 ft, have 6” of rockwool stuffed in them. The ceilings have 17” of rockwool stuffed in them and are of various angles. Walls and ceiling are covered with fire resistant burlap.

The sound was dramatically improved. I’d say 35% to 40% improved.
