@Baylinor Thank you. As I often see stated here, everything matters. @kofibaffour, @jl35 I agree that science, REW, and restraint are all good things, but without a doubt, simply putting some absorption at first reflection points should be mandatory for all systems. I started with six 2 x4 x 4 absorption panels that I stored when the room was my wife's and set out when the room was mine. At the sides for point-sources, (I suppose behind for dipoles?). Doesn't take a lot of money or effort for this vast improvement and unlike some other components, incremental gains per dollar spent far surpass any other expenditure. All in all, room treatment provides the most significant bang for your buck. |
I just added corner bass traps to my room. The transformation was outstanding with improved clarity throughout especially in the low end. My left & right reflection points in my room are problematic as to the right are a wall of 4 large windows and to the left is an open room with 4 more windows (2 cove) and a pool table. |
@signaforce I believe the left side is not much of an issue since the first reflection points are so far removed that reflected waves would not be perceptible. For the right, I suggest 242 absorption panels that you can place when listening seriously and store when you are not. Alternatively, a good size stuffed couch with as high a back as you can tolerate placed in front of the windows would likely help. To determine first reflection points, place/hang/have someone hold a mirror in front of the blankets and confirm you can see the speakers’ reflections at your listening position. |
@tcutter Thanks! My L shaped sectional is head high & actually runs along the windows then into the room. Only one woofer is above the couch (R11’s). I had thought about free standing panels… might give that a try. |
