Acoustics experts - a little help please


Hey all,

I have 9 foot ceilings and I sit in a 9 foot equilateral triangle with my speakers. Do I need to treat the ceiling? Absorption or defraction? I'm trying to get a deeper more 3D soundstage.Speakers are 46" from the front wall which is treated with absorption and defraction. 

Thanks!

The best soundstage depth I ever heard was 3" single driver in large TL cabinet and Wavac SET amps. Yes, depth was 10’ back or more. Song must be appropriate and one was Michael Jackson’s song with footsteps in it - maybe Thriller.

His room was huge. Maybe 20’ x 30’ and speakers way out into the room. Wall behind was maybe 15 feet back.

The large room, speaker position, along with phase and time coherent speaker were the keys. The first and easiest step would be maximize distance behind the speakers. Not sure of treatment behind the speakers would work. That absorbs reflections.

Room acoustics is a complex matter...

 I had no experience as a serious acoustician in many room with many different problems...

 I know how to learn what we need to solve a specific problem in a specific room...

 Consulting a serious acoustician will help you...

Or do as i did but it takes much time so much most did not have the luxury to do it ...Read articles, books, and do your own experiment in your room...It was the best fun in my life...

I cannot advise you without being myself in the room and experimenting...I did it mechanically with my ears...

 A pro acoustician can give advice very useful for your specific problems...

 

 The best soundstage i heard was mine in my first dedicated room, but the tuning takes me 2 years...

 

 I apologize to be of so little concrete help....

 

Looks like you need sidewalls and ceiling treatment. Front wall treatments don't really do much to control early reflections, as these are the ones that need the most attention. 

Because he need very concrete and simple solution...

I cannot give them without being there and experimenting...

If money is not a problem, the best solution is Dr. Choueiri  BACCH system....

why now?
