Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.


Why?  Because acoustical treatments presented are in virtually empty rooms. Unrealistic.

my rooms have furniture and clutter.  These rooms don’t really have a need for treatment.  It’s snake oil, voodoo science.  
So why is accoustical panels gonna help?  No one can answer this, most have no clue.

What amazes me with these treads on acoustics on this forum is the dogma handed out.

The endless bragging that: "I have a rug and some drapes and my system sounds fine" just means you have never heard a properly treated room.

Stating that: "I use DSP and it's fantastic" just means that it is an improvement on what you had before, also means you have a very narrow listening area. Improvement from attenuating peaks works BUT what caused those peaks also caused nulls and no matter how much power you pump into the missing frequencies just cancels with the same power!

Yes, it's the BASS frequencies causing this problem which you did not know you had because instead of educating yourself on the most important area of achieving good sound, you waste your time and other poster's time who try and help. Those guilty know who you are.

All rooms need treatment, end of story.

@jumia ??? With your dogmatic stance don't expect much help, certainly not from me. Get a life man.

Treatments are more important for Maggie owners IMHO.  Planars radiate in both directions.  It is important to have a diffuser behind the speakers.  It makes a world of difference.  I cannot cannot comment on box speakers as I have not owned one in the last 20 years.
