Wondering if someone can help me here. I've just relocated and purchased a new home. Unfortunately it's smaller than my last home in which I had a perfect listening room. In the new home I only have a loft area that overlooks my great room with 20+ foot ceilings to use as my listening space. Obviously this is not an optimal setup as I feel sound is escaping into the open great room over the balcony. My B&W 685s sound really good but not great. Any thoughts on what I can do to maintain good sound quality (outside of building a wall or hanging a curtain, which will promptly lead to a divorce)?
Room Treatments
I don't really know anything about room treatments. I have done some reading but still confused. I guess my main question is how does one know if they need absorption or diffusion? I have a tv hanging on the wall behind my speakers how does that effect things. Am I better off going with traditional panels and traps, or should I be looking at resonator devices?
