The problem with Tube Traps. Everybody says they go in the corners, right? Well, that’s not necessarily true. They should go where the standing wave is located. But the standing wave is often not located in the corner per se. it can be located a foot or two or more away from the corner. But all is not lost. Move the Tube Trap a few inches at a time away from the wall, first to the right of the corner, then to the left of the corner to see if there is an ideal location that is not in the corner. Ditto the first reflection points.
Help with room treatment?
I know my set up is very modest compared to some on here but I am just getting into this over the last 4 or 5 months. I built a room specifically for listening and once completed my system has sounded so much worse. Bass is worse, highs are worse. I understand it is a fairly empty room right now. After addressing first reflection points will it get any better?
Or should I return to my living room?
