Plaster Walls

Seems like the best place to address this issue.

I purchased a home that unfortunately has plaster walls. I've been told it will create havoc for loudspeakers and the audio quality of a home stereo.

Is there any way to minimize the problem of having plaster walls in a room without having to resort to replacing them with sheet rock? Can't afford that.

Thanks for all of the tips. Sounds like it won't be as much of a problem as first thought. Have started putting in drapes and will proceed from there with the panels and softer furniture.

There is a guy named Michael Green that runs a board called Tuneland. He seems to have a vastly different philosophy concerning room acoustics. He said Sheetrock is good while plaster is bad. He seems to believe equipment needs to be "tuned" and then put into an environment which does have highly resonant properties. At least that is what I can gather. Sounds like his goal is to create a sound that is perhaps bright vs. neutral.
