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 used GIK and then was able to speak with them on the phone to help me further understand the process and what would work.  The size of room and type of speakers are all factors you must consider. My space is small and am using Martin Logan Electrostatic speakers, being dipole speakers a lot of sound is going towards the front wall, given my small space controlling that was huge so absorption on the front wall was key.   
bottomline I think GIK’s free advice is a great place to start and do speak with them directly, don’t just take the recommendation and run with it. 
made a huge difference in my room.
