LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE ACOUSTICS OF MY LISTENING ROOM

I am looking to improve the acoustics of my listening room located in Nassau County, New York. I have installed drapes, an area rug and not sure how to proceed further. Do I need absorption, diffusion, tube traps in corners? Not sure of any of  this. I am looking for someone to come to my music room and help me. I believe I need an acoustic engineer who has the knowledge to show me what objectively needs to be done to meet my goals. Willing to pay a reasonable hourly for advice. Many audiogon members have stated that if the listening room is deficient, changing equipment will not be the final answer.   Thank you.

I strongly recommend a consultation with Jeff at hdacoustics. He is very good and I am extremely happy with my room.

Because your room was initially overdamped, you added diffusion down the road, if I remember. Was that because he didn't suggest it or because you decided to not take his advice at the start? Because if he didn't suggest diffusion at the beginning, that, in my opinion, was a mistake on his part.

I don’t believe the room was over damped at any time.

My mistake. I thought that's why you added diffusion.

If it sounds better with diffusion, what would you say has changed for the better?
