Room acoustics

I'm looking over th dynamics of my listening space. It's a condo with large living room 20x20, continuous with kitchen and dining room for a total of 20x45. To say the least it's acoustically challenged. Our decorating will pretty much stay the same so no big heavy drapes. So, with an emphasis on turning any skepticism ( legitimate ) my wife may have of turning our present living space of echos into one of really satisfying, beautiful sound, what can anyone say about DIK acoustic products. I've read some great reviews but would enjoy hearing from the community. Thanks.

Don't know if they would be too ugly for you, but I am a great fan of Michael Green's "Room Tunes" products. I have tried DIY methods with fiberglass, etc. and they always seem to suck out the life and highs along with the cacaphony. The Room Tunes do the job right. Only when I made a clone of these products was I happy with my DIY treatments.

I have a similar L-shaped layout. Recently, I put a pair of ASC tubes next to the speakers that almost eliminated the low end scatter on one side of the room. They also look great.

Auralex Acoustics has some premo products but GIK seems more home
user friendly. It sounds like the bass control is the most important consideration....yes no...

Sadly you will find that getting 'better sound' will lead to a divorce. Chasing a WAF will always lead to compromises that will defeat your goal. Most audiophiles quickly realize that only an enclosed, dedicated listening room works, and even then to treat and tweak that room is an art, often taking years. So, accept your fate for now, give good headphones a try and be grateful for a happy wife who rewards you often for your kind consideration of her need to have peace and quite.
