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.

There is no room that is acoustically correct without treatments. Rugs and drapes are not very good and could actually make your room to dead. You need a mix of absorption and diffusion. All corners will accumulate bass, this can be wall corners, soffit corners. Then there are 1st reflection points: in front of speakers on the floor, ceiling, side and the 1st reflection point for the opposite speaker.

The room is 1 of the most important pieces of an audio system
