How to diagnose the need for room treatment?


I have my stereo setup in the family living room (30x14x8 ft). I have done some work around speaker placement, and treating 1st reflection points, but don't know if I need to do more. I often read room treatment being crucial. So while my system sounds good to me (I'm new at this), it might be able to sound a lot better.

How can I come up with a diagnose, short of trial and error of every posibility?

Thanks!

Try playing something that should have lots of bass. If your system should be able to play deep bass and you can hear it, and are happy with it, you are probably be OK.

If the bass is lacking or muddled, you may need bass treatments in the corners of your room.
