High ceilings and hardwood floors

I found a similar problem with my room, to compound the problem the rear wall was a large patio door with vinyl verticals. I considered selling the house upon first listen. I put down a large area rug on the floor, and hung heavy curtains in front of the patio doors. Both of these endeavours were acceptable to the spouse, she picked out the stuff. After that, I wanted to do a full treatment of the room but ran into a brick wall, very very low WAF. Next, started changing equipment and cables, tubes sure make a nice difference. In the end, the brightness was tamed, the room looks acceptable, and I hafta admit, sounds better than I ever thought it could. Jeff
