| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage I spent about $1000. Plus the large area rug to cover the wood floor. The room is almost 14' x 14' x 8' with some odd alcoves so it doesn't suffer from the dreaded "square room bass boom". | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage WAF doesn't apply here. I have a dedicated room. That's a big plus. The room looks more like a recording studio. It definitely looks "purposeful", but it sounds WONDERFUL... | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage I'm using Primacoustic panels, purchased from Sweetwater Sound (no affiliation, just a customer). I installed them on all four walls plus the ceiling. You need a helper to determine your first reflection points. This requires a flashlight and a mi... | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage Another + for room treatment. The room and setup gives at least 50% of what you will hear. Not magic, just physics. | |

| I give up ..acoustic treatment for room with vinyl plank flooring +1 for Primacoustic panels. I treated all four walls and the ceiling in a dedicated listening room. Biggest improvement in SQ. Much bigger than any gear change. Place at all first reflection points, plus additional coverage on front wall (the wall... | |
| Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc?? Erik-Thank you for the kind words.Sorry to hear about your lack of a listening room. Especially a shame since you were the first person here to mention any kind of room treatment to me several years ago. You said try hanging some blankets on the w... | |
| Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc?? Before room treatment- Definitely an arc. Center image not settled in the center. Little or no depth of soundstage. Images seemed to be easily perceived from left speaker, area between the speakers, and right speaker, ie- the ... | |
