Rives Audio Consulting - Advice?

I am currently trying to take my system to the next level. Before I purchase any system upgrades I want to focus on room optimization. I am considering hiring Rives Audio for either the "Entry" or "Custom" package. Please advise for either. My room is about 16 x 13ft with speakers on the long wall but the backside of the room is completely open into the kitchen and then to the rest of the house where the ceiling rises. Cosmetically, I do not want too much crazy looking stuff. Please advise if this will be worth my while. BTW, I have Revel F52s with all Ayre gear (C-7xe, K-5xe, V-5xe). Should this be my next step?

I'm glad I saw this thread. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out solutions to my room and was thinking about using Rives but hesitated when I saw the length of the questionnaire.

I've never heard of HRS systems, but I'll check them out (thanks, John).

Took Rives Level 1 ( only available consultation for Malaysia). Great communication.Easy to deal with. Just be accurate in your descriptions and tell richard whether you prefer diy or ready made room treatment. Its a no brainer instead of constantly upgrading when room is such an important component.

Hey John, I thought HRS systems did isolation devices. Are these the same guys?

Goatwuss, welcome to my world. I too have ended up with a small 2 way monitor, it's the only thing that works sans a dozen plus traps (which tame the room modes but killed dynamics). Live and learn, caveat emptor, et cetera.
