I knew room treatments were in my future.


For those of you that have been following my posts. I bought a new house, leaving my great 24' square listening room of 36 years. The best prospect is the basement room 12'x 18'. Home for my new Hegel H390. Thick carpet, concrete block on the end wall and one 18' side. The other side is 2x4 construction with paneling. 
My dealer said he can help with treatments. 
Bryston A2 wired speakers. 
My best guess is placing my speakers from the 12' wall towards the 18' end. 
Thanks for any suggestions.

The room sim application inside of Room EQ Wizard is quite helpful for determining optimal speaker placement to minimize room modes.  GIK is an excellent source for information on both their website and their service.  You can make excellent panels using Guilford of Maine covering, 1 X 4's and Mineral Wool or Owens Corning 703 and have GIK make the harder stuff such as corner bass traps. GIK's prices are excellent and I try to procure even the DIY products through them.    
^^^This.I did the exact recommendation. Lots of of pictures.

I just received my GIK acoustic panels the other day.

The designer I worked with, Mike, was very helpful. mike.m@gikacoustics.com

Stillpoint Apatures get 4 ASAP for the best sound.
Are those $750 each? You're recommending he get 4 of them right away? Or am I looking up the wrong things?
They really work great if you only start with 2 put them at the first reflection point.If you feel there to expensive buy somthing else however i fell they are the best i had Tube Traps before these are much better.Good luck!!

And at $750 each you think they're good enough to try *even before* doing an analysis of the room? If so, that's very high praise indeed!
