I can prove your room is bad

@phil55, it had been done. The business was called Rives. Unfortunately they are no longer, after 2015. You can spend tens of thousands on a room alone.

I recently started to look at the room as half of the system and learning to properly tune it is a skill. I am still learning and wish I had a cloud and more diffusion. My room at one point became overly damped so I started removing panels.
Getting a quiet room can be a curse though in that it made me hyper sensitive to untreated rooms and their horrible acoustics. When I see / hear a news reporter reporting from home and they have an overly live room with horrible echo, I immediately change the channel.

I was recently showing my system to my Brother and when he came into my room his first remark was “whoa, it’s so quiet in here”. I’m actually going to buy some absorption panels for my hallway outside my listening room and also for my bedroom. Sometimes I’ll come to my listening room and just relax with no music playing. It’s so peaceful, I love it!

It’s a small room and I have 6 244 Panels, 4 monster bass traps and 3 no name fiberglass panels (2”x2’x4’)

“Would love to see your room. You should certainly post your system here”.

Erik is a biggest advocate of GIK Acoustics and Room EQ but he won’t post his system for whatever reason 😎

I can go along with that. 

So if the speaker’s off-axis response is poor, would you expect the room to fix it?

If so, how?

@tvad , does said room come with a jacket by any chance?
