Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig

A fantastic system indeed. I was just curious if you had considered building absorption right into the walls and ceiling to eliminate the need for bass and first reflection traps.

Thanks.

The walls and ceilings were built purely for soundproofing, which if you want to have a dead quiet room and have to deal with close neighbors, is mandatory. No sound in, no sound out. Then comes the acoustic treatment. Separate things entirely. I see where it would be neat to knock down both those things in one swoop, but I fail to see how anything in a wall or ceiling behind a double sheetrock green glue sandwich construction, a big part of soundproofing for neutralizing low frequencies, would have any chance at doing the job of absorbers and corner bass traps.

i agree that anything behind drywall wouldn’t work very well. Having a smallish room I did end up killing 2 birds with one stone. I had an acoustician design the room and I built it while the speakers were being built. I have no drywall inside the room which allowed for absorption to be built into the walls and ceiling. I do have double drywall on the outside with MLV between the layers. The ceiling joists have Rockwool in them. It turned out quite well sound proofing wise and sound quality wise. Happy listening

Excellent, glad it's working for you. So is it like a cloth material instead of sheetrock? Like absorbers construction.

I frequently listen to music in the 60db range peaks at 70db and it is completely immersive. Sometimes I’ll listen in the 70’s with peaks around 85db.
