Room correction room system vs ears….

@navyachts

On the lighter side of things, I find putting my bookshelfs on the end of my mattress and then pulling the sheets over my head works wonders.

I’m guessing that makes it easier to reach your books without getting out of bed, I might try it.

soix , good question. Those front L-C-R speakers are ported and when I tried placing panels behind them it absorbed too much high frequency info and sounded flat.

I always assumed that rear ports were not carrying a lot of high frequency content.

@holmz , I assumed that rear ports were for low frequency but just found in my room the high frequencies sounded flat when I had the an absorption panel right behind the speaker.

@kota1 - I still do not understand what you mean?

What do you mean… and how do the ports apply to the statement:

1. The panels decreasing the distance, causes the port to reinforce gthe bass more?
2. The panels suck out later reflections, and the ports have nothing to do with the brightness?
3. Or something else?

@kota I tried using absorption on the front wall in my prior home and current listening room and did not like the dulling, lifeless effect.  I use Synergistic Research HFTs instead on my cherry plywood finished front wall which apparently diffuses the sound and prevents bright or glaring sound coming back at me.   The alternative suggested by several acoustic engineers was for quadradic diffusion paneling.  Unfortunately, the required size intruded into the room from the wall 12" and too much for my room.
