Have you treated your listening space?

-
I see lots of pictures of $$$ systems in bare rooms.
What are the barriers for you to treat your room, or if you have already what benefits have you rendered?
I have improved the sound more than any other way by addressing the reverberant space that my system occupies.

Sam,

By opening windows and sliding doors, you're probably removing reflection points that are muddying up the sound, so I'm not surprised by what you're experiencing. The same effect could be achieved by placing diffusion treatments at those same points. I'd definitely take Transaudio's advice to heart.

Brad and Lenny...thanks :-)
I'm going to try it!

Seems logical...opening windows and large glass sliding doors permit waves of energy/sound to escape rather than remain in the listening space.

Now, off to find suitable material and transform the listening space/living room into Carnegie Hall...NOPE -- make that Walt Disney Concert Hall :-)
