I built a beautiful dedicated listening room in my last house. The final touch was home-made sound absorbers. It was an easy process; I made the frames out of 1x 4's and filled with O.C 702, wrapped them in cheap thin cloth. I had 2 2'x4' on each side wall slightly in front of each speaker. 2-2x4 on the ceiling a few feet in front of the speakers and 4- 2'x8' standing diagonal in each corners. I'd be happy to send you a pic if you want. They did make a difference and probably no different than the fancy stuff you pay hundreds for.
Why no Room Tuning Questions?
I recently saw a quote.....here in the forums, methinks to the effect that an OK stereo in a good room is better than good system in an only OK room.
What has everyone done to treat / improve there listening space? Any or much DIY stuff like traps / panels?
I am sorely tempted to get some OC703 and build some panels.
A local store (lucky accidental find) will sell me 2" or 1" in quantity. Another vendor, will sell me pre-made panels for $10ftsq, cover 'em with one of a big choice of fabrics cut to custom shape.
Before I get nutty and start spending big bucks on cables/fuses and the like, I think the room could use some help.
