Since you have put the best sound behind looks I would just leave it alone. You basically have a dedicated relaxing room with added music. It is very nice though.
Room treatment
A very discerning audiophile here on Audiogon recently recommended that I deal with room treatment first and foremost before considering more upgrades. This is an area I neglected because of my limited understanding of acoustics for 2 channel listening. But I have to be clear, I love my room and don't want to clutter it. Therefore maybe adding white ceiling panels could be an architectural thoughtful yet an effective way of integrating some room treatment inconspicuously. Does anyone have any knowledge with these companies?
Primacoustic Stratus Studio: which is a 2" thick glass wool panel that is effective for frequencies between 100Hz -20kHz (most effective 400Hz)
GIK Acoustics: offer 4" and 6" fiberglass core panels that control frequencies between 60Hz-20kHz. I don't like the mounting hardware offered.
The Quiet Room Acoustic Box Cloud: offer 3" and 6" thick felt panels where the 6" panels control frequencies between 50Hz - 20kHz. These panels are beautiful and more aesthetically pleasing but are costly.
Hopefully I'll find the right balance of effective acoustic and aesthetics.

@wsrrsw you have quite the system and your room is beautiful! I like how you incorporated that portable acoustic wall - excellent and resourceful solution! I bet you spend long hours enjoying your music. |
@ronboco well it's been an audio journey what can I tell you. I wanted a peaceful room and took a naturally organic and holistic approach where music, nature, the mind and the soul come together as one. I didn't just want a structure. I'm a full-time firefighter and an architect so my days are long, busy and chaotic and this room gives me the peace I'm referring to. I'm a believer in solutions and there are some discerning and incredibly kind audiophiles here who have offered me great suggestions rather than overt criticism. I'm here to learn. |
I am not criticizing you in any way. You have a space most of us would love to have to work with. You just won’t realize it’s full potential. As stated above I would recommend an acoustician to analyze your room. Jeff at hdacoustics is very good. He designed my room and I built it. He can give you exactly what you are looking for. Well worth a consultation. Good luck !

@ronboco my apologies. I wasn't implying that you were criticizing me. I was just trying to describe how I ended up where I am 😆 and now I'm reaching out for some direction. It's all good my friend. |
