Have you treated your listening space?

Treatment schmeatment. El redundo amundo. Case by case I say, and I think bass traps should look like faux marble Roman columns...right? And it's "anachoic" not "anecolic" which actually (if spelled correctly) is the art of soundproofing a grumpy baby. Strange but true.

Through the different evolutionary states of my room I have found there to be benefit from treatments in all aspects of my sound. Having the latest version professionally designed by Jeff Hedback really just took it to another place completely, I was really surprised at how much it improved over my self efforts. Didn't break the bank and big return on investment

I'll split the difference with you. It's actually spelled
anechoic.

Rug cores, are the poor audiophile's room treatment. Those tall hollow cylinders that are in the center of rugs work very well, even better than some corner bass traps that you pay good money for; they stopped the "booming" in my room. You simply use double stick tape, paint for invisibility, or decorate, and stick them in the corner behind the speakers.

Damn...anechoic it is! Also, I tried to speak to Jeff Hedback once and his voice was so muffled with so little siblance or bass impact I couldn't understand a thing.
