I need to do this, please help

I have put this off long enough, I need to do some room treatment, and it is the only part of audio that I don't know much about. I know about tube traps, corner traps, echo-busters, etc....... But what I don't know is how to make it function the "right" way, i.e. where to put them in my room. I can't change the dimensions of my room, nor can I change it unusual set-up though I would like to optimize the performance of what I have and I think I should have done this a long time ago. Are there any books or websites that may be able to help? or do any of you folks know any tricks that everyone in this hobby but me already knows? Thanks a lot for any help

Tim; I'n no expert either, but several recommend a book on acoustics by (I believe) Alton Everest-- maybe do a search for it. Robert Harley's book (2nd Ed.) "The complete guide to High End Audio" has a room acoustics section that is useful, and the book is a good read/reference for many other high end topis as well-- available at Audio Advisor if you don't already have it.

I use 5 ASC tube traps, and 3 Panel traps with some success, ie I'm not sorry I got them. Awareness of the speaker/room interactions and room acoustics is essential to best music, and you're on the right track. Good Luck. Craig
