LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE ACOUSTICS OF MY LISTENING ROOM

@kjl1065 I used Music City Acoustics to come up with a plan. They, like some others, will come up with a plan for no charge. For some simple work on your part like photos and measurements the result will be wonderfully successful. I did a very deep dive (on vendors, reflections and how to treat)  before selecting this company. Additionally I hired a finish carpenter to hang panels and the laser levels were his guide. 

Yup. GIK!

I don’t believe the room was over damped at any time. It is just controlled. Most people are just used to hearing the colored sound that many reflections cause and they think that is the correct way to have the room. The sound was fantastic but I got to wondering what some diffusion would sound like. Jeff designed up the panels and told me exactly where to mount them. They did fill the room with sound better than without the panels but I could have been happy either way. 

I have had people come over and tell me my room is over damped when their system is in the corner of the  family room with windows and is open to other rooms with no control over anything. Or in the basement where their system comes in a distant second place to everything else.  

Here are two company's in NY to contact that will provide a pro design for a fee:

Truephonic (Steve Sockey)

WSDG (multiple designers)

Both are well regarded and design pro studios, listening rooms and theaters.
