bass traps . Which kind

Sound doc, while room furnishings can go a long way towards ameliorating problems, they only affect the higher frequencies. Few of us have such perfect listening rooms that there are no low frequency anomalies. Many rooms have 10-20db. peaks or valleys in their response and it does take either room treatment or equalization to address these kinds of problems. Plus, many don't have the luxury of locating their speakers so that first reflection points don't create imaging problems. If you've got a mid-century room design with stone, tile, or wood flooring, large expanses of glass, and minimal curtains, you're are likely going to need some acoustic treatment IMO.

I would strongley reccomend room treatments.There is a night and day difference in the sound in my room. My research on this subject came up with do finite answer . some say air gap some say no. I think i am going to dismantle the superchunks and make panels for the ceiling lines. Also more panels for second reflection points.

I suggest anyone take the time to read this article on room acousthttp://www.ethanwiner.com/acoustics.htmlics. Lamens writtten easily comprehended.

A pair of GIK 244 traps placed in the front corners behind my speakers delivered a substantial improvement. I purchased them in hopes of improving bass. To my surprise I got across the board improvements that were particularly stunning in the midband. Seems that my room had been doing harm to string tone. A brightness that seemed present in too many recordings went away after hanging the traps. The GIK traps are the real deal and a bargain too IMHO.
