JMLAB MINI UTOPIA and ROOM PROBLEMS

i have JMLab Mini Utopia driven by YBA 1a pre power combination and YBA 2 CD (soon to be upgrated to YBA 1D )

My whlole set up is placed on a room of 4,40m L and 3,30m W speakers are placed 1,20m from tha back wall.Speakers are placed on the long wall

i listen from the adjasent room which is separated from the stereo set up room by a sliding door

the door is open and this leaves an opening of 2,10meters

The problem is that in the room of the stereo i dont have many furnitures except two big columns for cd storage 90 cm width and 1,60m height put in the corners of the room and almost nothing else

the problem is that the room has a very prominent echo character which masks the sound

any help for treating this problem without spending a fortune on RPG or similar diffusors or absorbers would be of great help

Hi Dlyk, how high is yr ceiling in the 1st room? It looks like you have yr system in a resonant (open) shoe-box... My guess is U should start by tackling 1st reflection points, floor & side walls. Then tackle the back wall. Use rugs, old blankets... and check out differences one by one. You may want to reconsider speaker placement -- check out a relevant thread by Redkiwi on this site.
Good luck!
