Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.


Why?  Because acoustical treatments presented are in virtually empty rooms. Unrealistic.

my rooms have furniture and clutter.  These rooms don’t really have a need for treatment.  It’s snake oil, voodoo science.  
So why is accoustical panels gonna help?  No one can answer this, most have no clue.

Jumia was more observant than me though as...

I never noticed the "window shelves" or the ceiling for that matter.

We lost track of a "cable guy" a few months ago (starting to smell funny in here) and come to think of it I have not seen my wife and one of our cats for a few days now.

I use a fanny pack pack for the remotes (like real men do).

There are two types of audiophiles ... those who have never tried acoustic treatments and 'think' their system sounds great. And those who have treated their rooms and 'know' their system sounds better than before.
It took me two years to find a house with a good room and if you find one of those acoustical treatment is not needed at all and when you put uneven items in the room it just keeps getting better.
This has to be top tier trolling. 
Voodoo science? The results of adding treatments is easily seen in measurements. 
I placed pillows behind my speakers, at first reflection points, and scattered a few more around in my small home theater room. My soundstage is more present and dynamic, and the center of the soundstage is well represented despite a 52” lcd. 

The challenge now is coming up with a more permanent solution. I’m talking to GIK. 

I’m not sure I accurately described the difference before vs after, but I find myself listening to more music. I’m thankful for some of you keeping the treatment discussion alive. 

Give it a shot, it’s free.
