I'm looking at the daunting prospect of having my room's issues treated, and fighting the urge to replace the speakers until I have done some treatments.
Which brings up a newbie question- Is there such a thing as 'prepping' a room to accept whatever speakers/components I later buy, or is the room truly a 'component', and therefore how it is treated is dependent on the gear? Right now it is VERY live. Laminate/wood floors, bare drywall walls, flat 8' ceiling. Left wall is flat/smooth, no windows, right wall has 2 3X5 windows with shutters. Front wall has a fireplace, rear wall is going to be half open to kitchen (with tile floors there.
Could be seen as a clean canvas, or a hopeless case.
