Room treatment


My listening room sounds overly dampened, and I want to look at options for making the sound brighter. The room is 4 meters by 7 meters by 2.75 meters. Two walls are mostly covered with bookcases, and two walls are partially covered by curtained windows. The floor has wall-to-wall carpet. What should I consider?

The best thing you could do is to create a virtual system and post photos of your system and space. Without understanding your system and environment it will be very difficult to help, They need not be glamor photos. Just grab you phone.

have you done any analysis in REW with data to determine that the room is truly overdamped. What speakers do you have? You failed to mention that. Cos what you described isn't an overdamped room to me.

A room that sounds overdamped in our part of the audio space must have an ET30 of less than 100ms

I doubt your room has that @jrdavisphd unless you provide a concise data set from REW

+1 @kofibaffour get a mic and use REW to analyze the room.  You can send the result files to somewhere like GIK and they will make recommendations.
