I treated my listening room with pretty good results. I agree with auxinput's comments. I will add the following. Before you do anything, download REW (room equalization wizard software) and optimize the results around the room without treatment. Get your speakers and your listening chair optimized, then play with the location of other furnishings that may be in the room. While you are doing this, listen for improvements in vocal clarity and stereo image. After all of this is done, then begin judicious introduction of room treatments. As auxinput indicated, it is usually good to focus on the tricorners first. You will almost certainly find that the measurements show accumulation of bass in those corners. Also, be patient, and let your ears be the final judge. Don't get fixated on ruler flat response. Be reasonable. I've been told it is hard to do better than + or - 10 dB in a room that is not custom built for a stereo room. The next time I move, I intend to custom build a home with a room designed for listening. That will be a fun project!
Bass trapping - corners or walls?
I've been reading articles on the ASC website and it seems that they contradict themselves regarding placement of bass traps. Most of their placement articles discusses placing bass traps in the corners. But the article below actually says that traps in corners are not that important and that traps along the mid point of opposite walls are more beneficial. What gives?
