I treated my room !


So I finally did it. I’ll share what most here know already. There may be some on the fence. I admit I didn’t do a ton of research. I still can’t interpret REQ as well as I’d like.  I bought 72 of the Auralex 12”x12” panels and glued 8 of them on eight plywood panels so I ended up with eight 2’x4’ panels. I hung these at the reflection points and on the back wall. I also added 20 auralex bass traps with 3 corners done and a row across the front ceiling. Good grief I could probably sell my subs now. I have a horn system and the mids tamed down.  I used to be able to run my preamp at 35%, and can run it at 50% now with no perceived distortion. I probably spent 1200 bucks.  I’m not advertising for Auralex because I’m sure there are many great brands, and many better than what I got but I wish I would have done this 8 years ago when I started building my system.  I run an SVS pb16 ultra and a GSG devastator with a 21” driver and I had to turn the SVS to negative 20, and the Behringer 3000dsp that runs the GSG down to 50% and it’s probably still more bass than I need. If your on the fence about room treatment, go for it !!

@steakster the coffee table is a subwoofer. It’s the GSG devastator. It was set up nearfield because I had lousy bass. Well no more lol. And to be honest it’s my wife’s laundry folding table so it’s usually covered in clothes minimizing reflections 😂

@jond  the composit veneer was put on last year by a cabinet maker. It’s called Osage orange and it came from Italy.  It’s a bit over the top but I wanted it, so here we are.  It did take a little time living with it tbh

 

im wanting to post pics but apparently I don’t know what I’m doing

Adrian,

Posting pics is easy if you have them anywhere else on the net just copy/paste right to this thread. However I meant you should add some pics to your system page, either of both would be great.

And heard on that veneer it is a pretty strong statement!

Good point. Instead of refinishing mine I'll try covering it with leather.
