If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?

One could at minimum engage in some DSP magik with a furnishing shuffle, a 'to taste' rug, and pleasing fabric hangings that mask some absorption materials...

Viola'!  A 'freshened' space with a new 'audio-positive' stance...

The SigOther(s?,,,,*L*) will love it....or at least, pause to listen before it all gets moved back.....

...and I've been watching too many 'DIY home makeover/reno' shows....

...so I'm going to go lie down now....

I concur with Hilde45 completely :

Seriously, improving sound does not require an elaborate listening room or a Ph.D. in acoustics. It's a hobby which requires a little knowledge and effort. Like fishing. Like golf. Give me a break -- it's not that hard. If one doesn't want to try, then that's their call. But it's not the fault of the hobby.

Im sure you are correct that the podiums are better than the iso acoustic footers. They do get outstanding reviews from most everyone that uses them. My 2 channel system is in the basement on concrete so I think the benefit would be negligible. I may try them someday just to see how they sound though.

I’m curious about this.

I think my system sounds pretty good but am wondering with room treatment would it sound better. Without spending a bunch of money how does one evaluate this?
