Where to start with room treatments?
If the enter'Pain'ment center is one of those wide/big puppies then a way to move the speakers closer together and in front of it does wonders.Make sure that thing isn't standing between loudspeakers.Because you usually end up with a hole in the image and poor depth of field. Oh,yes if it does not have doors which can be closed to hide television,a blanket over sets CRT helps. |
If you haven't been to our website there is quite a lot of free resouces, including many web articles that can help you. Read as much as you can and experiment with inexpensive items, and then later you can buy the more expensive nicer looking treatment (or build some of the devices yourself). Acoustics Resource Page |
Thanks all for your information... If a walk around the room listening to where the bass sounds better, what does that tell me? There are ponits within the room where the bass is tighter...What to do? I have pulled the speakers as far as I can without getting some spousal interferance..the front baffel is about 3 inchs in front. I think most of all I would like to tame the highs a little.. jtb |
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 |
