Acoustic Treatments


I need some opinions on the above, my listening room is a partially finished basement with floor joists for a ceiling but the front wall behind the speakers is finished. One side wall is framed out and the other is cement with insulation (foil side out). The side walls are 5 feet from the speakers. The system sounds pretty good in this room (I've had the same in 2 other rooms). I noticed a big improvement when I hang damping material on the front wall between the speaks like a wool blanket or oriental rug. Can I improve on that with RPG or Sonex or the like (I know it will look better). I know tuning the room is critical, I've just never had much luck or inclination to do so. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I'd read F. Alton Everest, "Sound Studio Construction on a Budget" before I did anything. Among RPG products, Skyline diffusors are relatively affordable and very effective on back wall (behind listener) or front wall. (Side walls I haven't tried.) Earlier advice sounds good to me, but for a comprehensive grasp of your situation, do read Everest.
