In a lot of these threads people say without the room being treated
Agree with ahendler and learsfool. I do have a listening room which was engineered from the ground up. There are other tweaks out there that are non-traditional and a little woo-woo to some that may be worth looking at: http://http//www.stereotimes.com/post/stillpoints-aperture-acoustic-panels/ http://http//www.6moons.com/audioreviews/3tweaks/1.html |
I think there are countless ways for audiophiles to both wander into, and out of, the many pitfalls involved with the subject of room treatment, but I would agree with others here that it's very easy to overdo it and you usually have to find some suitable, and mostly subjective, method for finding your way through it, assuming treatment is needed at all. If you're intent on going a strictly objective route to be sure, then I'd say consulting a pro may be the best way to go. |
I made my own treatments and put them at the 1st and 2nd reflection points. Built frames to go around them and voilà. In a small room, treatments are critical. In a large room where you can set up a near field listening system, it's not as critical. Based on my experience, room treatments have bettered every room so far. I would rather hear a mid-fi system in a well treated room than a hi-fi system in an un-treated room. My $0.02 worth. |
