Asymmetrical would be ideal, but there are ways to compensate
Wall treatments “Asymmetrical”?
Just got a pair of Wilson Audio Sabrina X’s and thinking about acoustic room treatments. If I can only place panels on my left wall and and not my right wall (I can fore and aft) will I be creating an unbalanced sound?
left wall blank
right wall fireplace and Flat panel tv above it
rear wall can put a panel or two
front wall a panel/diffuser and bass traps

Some photos of your system and venue would be really helpful. There is a place under your user ID to create virtual systems.
In general, the biggest challenge will likely be right and left. If there is a lot of space on the right and a close wall on the left… then treatments on the left can equalize the open space on the right.
But I definitely agree… take your time. You can simulate treatments with thick blankets and pillows to shape your sound space before investing in expensive treatments. |
Forget blankets and pillows, if you can afford the Sabrina X, no reason not to experiment with a variety of acoustic treatments. Best way to start is give your room layout to Gik Acoustic and they will give you suggestions for free. Go from there. In my case I ended up with more diffusion than they suggested. They over did it a bit on absorption. Glad to hear you want to pay attention to room acoustics, you can see my setup in my system. It really pays off! |
@newbee , +1, I think a lot of it leans towards "commerce stimulation", i.e., the dealers and the appointed pied pipers for certain product and so on ( I doubt some of these guys are all that genuinely uninformed). |
