Bright room, help


I'm relatively new to high end and need some help.

I have my set up in a vaulted living room with hardwood floors and lots of sheetrock (damn those parallel walls!). Not a lot of furniture and what I do have is leather. I need some simple inexpensive ideas to warm the room up a bit, without detracting from the decor. It's very bright and brings on fatigue sooner than I'd like.

Any ideas Audiogonners???

Thanks,

Steve

Steve, I think separates are a waste of money. A top notch tweaked CDP should beat a dual box setup. But they are always many ways to attack a problem and achieve the same results.
Ouch!
Yes, treat the sidewalls and floor first, and REGARDLESS of what you buy, but then run out and buy a decent front end!
Cheap: NAD C541i at $400-500.
Mid: Warm: Rega Planet 2000; Lean: Nait CD5; Neutral: ARCAM FMJ
$$: Electrocompaniet EMC0-1 MkII (like mine...GREAT!)
$$$: Audio Aero Capitole seems to be a favorite around here.
Good Luck!
Thanks for the help everyone. I just purchased the Ah! Njoe Tjoeb. And I'm also continuing to work on the room enhancements. I've put down a couple rugs and some stuff on the walls and already the sound is getting better.

Ciao!

Try Frank's(signalcable.com) interconnect and bi-wire speaker cable. I bought some cable from him and boy, my bright KEF 4.2s sounded superb!!!!...My speaker now sounded
very smooth and clear!!!...His cable is very cheap compare
to all the expensive ones buy why pay more when you don't have too..:-)...I compare his cable to the cardas neutral
reference interconnect and the monster m2.4s bi-wire speaker cable and favor his cable alot more!!!....signal interconnect is $29 vs $500 cardas. Give it a try, its 30 day risk free..:-)..

Good Luck
