Room is way too bright.


Question?
Unfortunately, my listening room has a lot of windows.

I’m happy with my system, but I need to decrease the higher frequencies at bit.
What is the best and most cost effective way of achieving that?

As Magnepans essentially don’t radiate to the sides, I’ve found them to be much more forgiving of rooms with glass on the sidewalls.

I can open my blinds all the way and the sound is still good, just a bit “lighter” in tonality.

I can vouch for that Magnepan comment. I have some Magnepan Minis in a 10 x 13 x 8 open room. I have a CD rack near the left speaker and a huge TV placed on the floor of the right speaker. If I used non-Magnepan speakers in this space it would be crazy reflective and fatiguing. The Mini sound very good in this compromised space and the only speaker that I have owned that I do not worry so much about the first reflections.

My primary listenings system is in a room that also has a projection TV.  I solved both issues in regard to the one wall that is floor to ceiling windows by having some acoustic curtains made up that both make the room dark for viewing and damp reflections for listening.
