Have you treated your listening space?


-
I see lots of pictures of $$$ systems in bare rooms.
What are the barriers for you to treat your room, or if you have already what benefits have you rendered?
I have improved the sound more than any other way by addressing the reverberant space that my system occupies.

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.

I used to think that room acoustic treatments were the last thing to do in a system....WRONG! They probably should be the 1st on the list! After I installed some Real Traps into my room, the system was just raised to another level.
My a'phile group and I now see what all the fuss is about....try it and you too will be a convert!
