I learned fast that too much room treatment doesn't work well ...
Room treatment can be addictive
Once you start, it is hard to stop. Like everything else in this hobby.
Also, how does one go about creating another Audiogon Forums Topic? This area
is certainly as important as “Cables” or “PC Audio”.

+100 @tcutter It took me 4 years before I stopped experiencing with it. Unlike equipment, once you're there, you're done. And I started with the proper room size and construction. It would take me a decade to get it half way right in an awkward room. That's why most people tune their sound with equipment. |
@Baylinor Thank you. As I often see stated here, everything matters. @kofibaffour, @jl35 I agree that science, REW, and restraint are all good things, but without a doubt, simply putting some absorption at first reflection points should be mandatory for all systems. I started with six 2 x4 x 4 absorption panels that I stored when the room was my wife's and set out when the room was mine. At the sides for point-sources, (I suppose behind for dipoles?). Doesn't take a lot of money or effort for this vast improvement and unlike some other components, incremental gains per dollar spent far surpass any other expenditure. All in all, room treatment provides the most significant bang for your buck. |
I just added corner bass traps to my room. The transformation was outstanding with improved clarity throughout especially in the low end. My left & right reflection points in my room are problematic as to the right are a wall of 4 large windows and to the left is an open room with 4 more windows (2 cove) and a pool table. |
