In a lot of these threads people say without the room being treated

It's a waste of money to upgrade you're system. The problem is I don't think most people know how to treat their rooms. I really think it takes a professional to know how to treat a room. Sure you can play around with it if you like but it could also be a big waste of time and money. And I know hiring a person to acoustically treat a room can't be cheap. I wonder why more people don't discuss this subject and make recommendations on who does this kind of work. When I look at the big picture this makes the most sense.

I made my own treatments and put them at the 1st and 2nd reflection points. Built frames to go around them and voilà.

In a small room, treatments are critical. In a large room where you can set up a near field listening system, it's not as critical.

Based on my experience, room treatments have bettered every room so far.

I would rather hear a mid-fi system in a well treated room than a hi-fi system in an un-treated room. My $0.02 worth.
