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 !!
