Others have your back with acoustical treatment. Well in hand. Addressing the beautiful solid wooden bench as ‘equipment stand’. Lovely as it is… a Quadraspire Reference X would kick this substantially. That’s all.
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.

I couldn’t agree with you anymore, all the right ingredients for a musical bliss — a fine cognac, the right chair and music filling the room while the snow piles up outside 🥃 🎶 I’ll happily take that recommendation—cheers to your setup and to many cozy winter nights ahead! @wsrrsw Esbjörn Svensson Trio - I am digging it, thank you! |
@fire_water Kevin near Toronto here. If you're in the GTA area I can do onsite measurements and make product recommendations (I don't sell treatments or get kick backs). If you're far away then send me your measurements to analyze. |
