For a quick good time, blankets...


and pillows.

Try them! On the floor, between the speakers and between them and your listening chair.

You may discover your speakers are capable of more than you thought.

Best,

Bravo Erik on your common-sense post!
Funny, I did just that this weekend. Went to a thrift shop, bought $6 worth of clean, washed and bagged blankets.
(I have posted before about my Vandy 2Cs being hot in the treble).
Well, after hanging a blanket on the front wall, the side walls, and the rear wall covering up the first reflection points, I sat down for a listen...
Amazing, really amazing!
Bass, good, clean, deep bass.
No more treble bite.
Soundstage deeper, wider and taller.
Sounds like a different and much more expensive system.
Midrange clarity, actually top-to-bottom clarity massively improved.
Kudos! Excellent post!!!

@kalali, Hahaha, yes they are butt-ugly! But, it's a dedicated room, the blankets are temporary guides before I place treatments. My wife says it can't happen soon enough.
Happily married, and plan to stay that way...
Hey Erik,

Don't mean to hijack your thread but the blankets worked so well I'm looking at room treatments that don't look like...thrift-store blankets stapled to the walls...
Looking at the London 12 kit from Primacoustics.
So... you, or anyone, have any knowledge of this product?

Thanks very much,
Tom
@terraplane8bob,
Interesting! Any chance you can recall the size of the room, and any treatments?

Thank you,
Tom
Yes, the coffee table!
I got rid of mine, and it helped, a lot.
But, mine is a dedicated room. Easy to ditch something pretty when WAF doesn't come into play...

@wolf_garcia ,
Hahaha! I think the same funny thoughts whilst enjoying me music in me old listening room. I'm thinking wool v cotton v synthetic v blend socks.
How bout no-shows v ankle-highs v calf-length v knee-highs?
Legs apart? Crossed at ankles, knee or mid-thigh?
One foot higher than the other?
The possibilities are endless!!! O, glory be!!!
