I can prove your room is bad

" This method does not demonstrate a need for you to improve the room. "

Looking at Ralph’s observation that his speakers sound better at the listening chair through an alternative lens:

Ralph’s Classic Audio T-3 horn loudspeakers generate a spectrally correct reverberant field, which makes a beneficial contribution at the listening chair.

I’m not saying this is the ONLY beneficial thing going on at a normal listening distance in this case, but imo it is one of them.

I think my room above the garage sounds pretty good, but I'm not thrilled that my listening couch is up against the knee wall with a sloped ceiling above my head. But I can set up my Maggies 4 feet from the wall, 8 feet apart and 11 feet from my listeni couch. All things considered it still sound pretty good

Room treatment... oh what a can of worms this forum has opened upon me. I spend hours researching this topic now, so many varied opinions.

I’ve spent hours already at a friends cabinet making factory, cutting up logs of cherry wood and gluing them together and planing them down to 5 foot long sheets of 1/2" x 8 sides, 4 tops and 4 bottoms, and 60 x 1/4" sheets.. and another 60 x 1/2" to cap the wells. All of which I haven’t even assembled yet. To make just 4 of these QRD17 diffusers, and I’ve never in my life even heard what a QRD diffuser does!

This is a crazy experiment...

Has anyone here used Stillpoints - Aperture II Acoustic Panel ??
Before I go experimenting some more... aaagh

And by the way, this has been a fun and witty thread, without getting aggressive.

@erik_squires The room is essential gear.

Marriage prevents me from adding panels and I image they would add quite a shine. 

When the curtains are closed the sound is much better. 

Some people have a James Brown room its SUPER BAD!!
