Nasty slap echo

When i clap my hands it sounds like the ricochet sound from a WW2 documentary. I have panels on 1st reflection points but doesn't help. My room is 15x8x22, which are "supposed" to be good dimensions. I did have them drop the crown molding down 4 inches to put rope lighting up there. Was wondering if that is causing the problem. How harmful is this slap echo to the sound? Any suggestions?

Really, leather is a problem? In my well treated room my leather couch and chair have no negative effect. I think leather is a non-issue to be frank.

Perhaps metal folding chairs are a bad idea:-)

Rrog,

No, my Ekornes leather audio chair is not an issue. I suppose if the back went clear up to the top of my head it may be an issue. It does not.

I also have a leather couch in the room. I suppose I should a/b verses a cloth couch.

My room has many GIK absorption panels so I suppose the leather may be a good overall balance. Don't know, but the sound is very, very good indeed.

Rrog,

Question for you and others. Does the leather on my couch cancel the frequency absorption properties of the mass beneath it?

Forgot to clarify that my question is mostly concerned with bass control?
