Where to start with room treatments?

Hello all,

Unfortunatly,I do not have a dedicated room, but I do have a nice 2 channel system. However, between my speakers sits a entertaiment cabinet with a 36" TV screen . The room is a living room that strechs into a dining room, ceiling hieght is about 9'. Beyond the left speaker is a sliding glass door to the deck and to the right is the extension of the room into the dining room. i.e the set up is along the "long" wall of the room.

Where do I start when thinking of adding room acoustic treatments. There is no room for bass traps...Ceiling corners? Hang someting on the wall behing the couch (listening seat)?

Almost regardless of room acoustics, speaker placement should give you some of the greatest sonic improvements.

It's free, but it can take months to locate the best spot. It took me about 9 months before I became satisfied. (That's averaging about 4 speaker moves per month).

Once you've located the best spots, you should then be in a much better position to determine room acoustic treatments if, in fact, you deem they are still needed.

-IMO
