Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?

This is relatively expensive, but not in the context of other acoustic products for sale-Cathedral Sound Panels. For $179/pair, they make a big difference. I bought 4 pairs from Decible Gardens, who had a 20% off sale for repeat customers in July. Total cost to treat my room was $605. The last move I did today was to replace a bass trap that I thought was doing a good job in my problem corner(I already had 2 Cathedrals near the ceiling in that corner. The change that made was incredible! I tested it with Jackson Brown's, "The Naked Ride Home" cd(highly recommended). The increased detail coming from that corner put the bass trap to shame. Now there is some controversy about the Cathedral Sound Panels, including a useless graph claim. I bought before I heard about it. My suggestion to you is to try them, then decide. Doesn't one ASC tube trap cost $500-$600? I treated my whole room for that. One listen should be enough to decide.

You could put a mystery bag(but then it would affect the sound)over this, and charge $150/set(3 of course)and not feel guilty. In my current setup, this opened up a window on the midrange-with voices to die for. On my Nuforce amps, I put an Eaglesound myrtle block with isonode(small) under it. Three per side. I just bought 4-inch Mapleshade amp stands on Audiogon(thanks Copperbop), and tried putting my Nuforce 8.5V1's directly on it, then with Eaglesound myrtle blocks between amp and stand. Previously, I had tried isonodes alone. Anyhow, with the myrtle blocks right under the amp and isonodes between blocks and stand, all of a sudden we get music. No contest compared to the other two ways. It's so good that I'm skipping the approved brass cones(for now), and will be looking into speaker supports. BTW blocks are $3 each, and isonodes cost $15 for a pack of 4. I believe I mentioned this tweek to both manufacturers a few years ago.

Try wood damping on the face-to-face Tibetan bowls that you use between your speakers.
