@traudio excellent advice from @newbee, @erik_squires and others.
You have to give the speaker positioning suggestions a try. Move them out into the room more, i.e. the suggested 4ft from the front wall (behind speakers), listen. Then spread them further apart by about 1”, toe them in so you get a solid center image. Evaluate. Make small adjustments from that point on with distance to walls, between speakers (measured at center of drivers) and your chair.
It’s a tedious and time consuming process but is 100% worth it. You will either get it to sound the way you like or you will realize it’s time for a change.
Need help from you acoustical experts
Here is the latest version of my new listening room. Everything is nice and symmetrical. Depth is ok, width could be a little better. Most of the treatments are from GIK Acoustics, placed where they recommended.(mostly).
Treatments on the side walls are at 1st and 2nd reflection points.
Walls are drywall screwed and glued to steel studs, paneling glued and strapped to drywall and filled with Rockwool. The ceiling has R30 insulation covered by CelingMax grid, screwed to the joists (not hanging). Dedicated circuit for the stereo, and HVAC ducts insulated to keep it quiet.
Yeah, it’s very quiet. Creepy quiet.
My issue is probably with the treatments. Midrange/singers are very forward, and high in the room. Usually as high as the white music note panels, and sometimes the singer sounds like she’s on the ceiling between the speakers.
Anyone see a mistake I’m making with the acousticsounds panels, either placement or type?
I’d like to post some pictures, not seeing how to do it. Guess you'll need to look at my profile.
