Ej, of course professional dampening material is best, tube traps, sonex foam panels etc.....but there are design considerations in someones living room, for visual appeal. Any tall irregular 3D object placed in the corners behind speakers will break up reflections, as opposed to bare wall corners. Of course if floor is not carpeted, rug is mandatory between speakers and listening position. Should also mention planar speakers, large Magnapans great value/performance ratio and Martin Logans but they are not the last word in bass reproduction FBI wants....so stick with one of the box designs...regards Sam
SPEAKERS FOR MY NEW LISTENING ROOM
My listening room is 27x19.5 with a cathedrial ceiling to a 16 foot height. The peak runs perpendicular to the 27 foot wall . I will be using my marantz 2500 ( 250 w.p.c. at 8 ohms 330 w.p.c. at 4 ohms ). I like some oldies , classical, jazz, and occasionally some loud house shaking rock and roll . Price range 2000-4000 dollars . Prefer tight, well defined bass , with the ability to hear the difference between the bass drum and the bass guitar and not having to worry about frying a driver or if I do, having the availability of purchasing a replacement driver without taking out a second mortage . There is a possibility of installing a wood tongue and groove ceiling in the near future. OK you Gurus start your engines . Thanks a bunch !FBI.
