Room treatment


Aside from furnishings in a room, does your listening area have any room treatment, ie, absorbers, diffusers, etc?

If your room is untreated, taking care of the room will be better than any electronics upgrade you make.

Zavato- I use all of these in the right places. Not too much in any 1 type.

So far my new listening room has no dedicated treatment. I have several thousand CDs and around a thousand records and I have arranged them on dowel racks and custom album furniture to provide a large amount of diffusion. I have run REW and the results are surprisingly good for no absorptive treatment. My decay time is around 550 ms and my next project is to get that down to around 400. That means I will need a fair amount of absorption which I will likely buy from GIK.

My bass response is quite a bit better than I expected but I will be working on that too.

Just moved. Likely hire an acoustic engineering company instead of me stumbling through the process.
