Room Acoustics--Stereophile Soapbox

The biggest fix for room acoustics? Open the windows! Of course, you'll have to live on a Midwestern farm or have very tolerant neighbours :-) But it does usually work wonders for eliminating standing waves.

You can also weigh up the cost/benefit of spending $2000 on a used TACT (or alternatively the RIVES) unit or spending the same money on some high WAF room treatments like heavier drapes or a couple of new couches or wall hangings.

Cmo: Contact us--and visit our website, there's a lot of free information there. Particularly in the listening room --it's a tutorial on listening room issues.

Charlie: Riiiiggggghhhhtttt.

Rives, don't you know all you need to do is change your interconnects and speaker cable? Gee wiz, man, don't you read the posts here? [:)]

Count me in for an acoustics section. I am about to start rebuilding my garage/studio and would love more info and advise.

I agree...I think it would be a great addition.

Gosh, I'd love a section like that. Its so hard to sort through all these Misc. postings to find people interested in the acoustic performance of the room their $100,000 system plays in...
