ok im opening pandoras box here.(treatment vs framed wall art)


So i am in a dedicated 2:1 room and am treating it for sound ,it is very bright. Although I enjoy having a selection of framed pictures on my wall they vibrate and ring.I see so many unreal setups in the forum with a ton of pics on the walls. How are you mellowing the room down with 15 glass framed pics on your wall? .I realize its a battle between form and function but ...
Thanks

I completley agree with all the post i have been down this road before .. I was browsing the virtual tour here and i saw systems well over 75k with pics all over the walls .. And i thought to myself how the hell is that working out yannow ... I love some pics of my favorite bands on the wall but they ring , obviously i dont mind that as much in my ht room because its more oriented toward entertaining and family ( although it has waaay more low end ) but in my dedicated audio room it is challenging . It is my personal space ( man cave ) and its where i want a pic of Genesis or pink floyd etc and at 150.00 framed uv im thinking thats about the same as a decent panel . I had a killer room years ago treated very well . But sometimes staring aimlessly at a sound panel listening to music gets old . 
Cool i am interested , I don't want to say which systems I saw i don't think its respectful , but i can say my system and enviroment are getting on track ( new room only 6 mnths old ) I don't mind some treatment throughout my room .

      My original post was regarding some of the system pics on the gon . I see some mega system 6 figures and they  have there walls covered in glass framed pics . I was just perplexed over this because i have like 6  17"x24" pics and i know they vibrate i hear it . I just wonder how much the pics change things . For instance room 13'x18' x10' exposed rafters spkrs on long wall  etc etc . One wall has a slider with heavy fabric curtain wall behind me large window again very heavy curtain blind set up , open that blind up and its a different room . I would think using the sr on the pic itself would be interesting . Like i said my reason for asking again is i see 20 pics in a med room all that glass cannot be good or costly to chill out

      ..ps someone asked about power i have dedicated dual 20 amp  hospital grade recepticles to my system and run it completley off grid 😁 
Thanks for all the input
     As i stated earlier i am getting my audio room under control (new house) .My Ht room is big and has alot of slap echo to deal with.Which is back burnered right now ,i'm living with it .But my original post was regarding some of the mega systems here on the gon virtual.I see some serious setups and wonder how the hell does he have 20 framed glass pics on his walls??? How is he/she   battling the resonation that has to be taking place .
Geoff i hear ya . But what is the frequency they are vibrating at ? Above our hearing ? When my pics vibrate its the frame ratting on the wall itself so say under 100hz ? But the glass itself i would think is just ringing at a high frequency (causing brightness i would think  ) I am just guessing . I still would like someone with the means to try some sr or simalar on the glass itself  . There was a system here that had maybe 40 pics on the walls ??? Thats so much glass , mostly just curious ..
Geoff,
    What your saying I believe is spot on ,but again wouldnt this type of set up (glass pics behind spkrs side walls etc ) greatly effect the sound in the room?
   rhlijazz,
  Thanks for the input, I would love to mess around with stillpoints under my adagios.But I must say it is a little above my means to drop 5 hundred each plus subs just for fun. They are spiked on carpet,I originally had them on the just there platforms .I added the spikes and my bass tightened up imo. 
I like it,....
      I guess the rooms I see here with all the glass pics are performing well .I was just curious how it was happening.I have 6 pics on my wall and treatment i have mellowd the slap echo with panels.the pics I double taped to the wall sound good to me ,
Thanks  
Russ ,
      I am fortunate in having enough room in my house and a women who has no problem with it.I also have a nice 7-2 Ht room which is for the family.Honestly there is a stereo in almost evey room in my house.

Dsn
         I am using panels from gik. My problems are under control,again i started this thread because of seeing some of the sysmtems on the gon with walls covered in pics and wondered what they were or were not using to control the slap echo etc.
