@kota1 My room is treated much like yours, no spacers on multiple side wall absorption panels, very thick carpet and couch. The ceiling absorption panels are chain suspended about 6". I'm still looking for that 2019 video of my finished empty room.
Room correction room system vs ears….
So, I splashed out and spent more than I wanted to on a nice little Benchmark amp and preamp etc and since I’ve gone that far I got curious about a room correction system for this and it’s going to cost me over a grand apparently. As far as I can gather these dial in the music before it comes out of the speakers…?
im wondering if I simply messed around and found the sweet spot without a room correction system how much of a difference this would make. I’m far from savvy with audio and try to keep things simple for my simple brain, so, on a scale of 1-10 how much difference would I percieve by splashing out on a room correction system?

@fleschler , it is funny how we seem to have followed similar principles but you have the "custom" version with a purpose built room. Those absorption panels hanging from the ceiling are often called a "cloud" in the studios. I have an acoustic "cloud" of diffusors (auralex acoustic lens) hanging below my PJ in the back third of the room. I don't have a pic but this gives you an idea. This pic is NOT my room, its a studio. These are the panels I use but this gives you an idea:

@fleschler , this diagram illustrates how I placed my acoustic panels (note the ceiling, absorption in front and diffusors behind the MLP:

@kota1 Interesting that you don’t appear to have any panels behind the speakers. Can I ask why? |
@soix , good question. Those front L-C-R speakers are ported and when I tried placing panels behind them it absorbed too much high frequency info and sounded flat. With a little trial and error I found placing combo panels between the speakers worked better. The front of the combo panel is a diffusor and behind the panel is about 2 inches of acoustic foam for absorption. I also have floor to ceiling bass traps in the front corners, that may be another reason I had to adjust the panels for less absorption on the front wall. |
