Room Treatment: Whatcha Got?

As I learn (Bertrand Russel would say 'as I expand my ignorance') I'm developing a different question to ask of audiophile friends. [ought I say phriends? No!]

Now, instead of asking what gear they listen to, or if they like vinyl, I'm really interested in their room; is it treated, or not? And what technique(s) / how much time is invested in setting up?

That's it: despite the current cover of Stereophile, size no longer matters to me, neither do components at this point. I don't even care about CD / TT until I've learned what effort a listener has put into working the room.

What's your story?

Bob, I wouldn't be against doing it on A'gon but most of those guys, Ethan, Brian, etc., already have at least 1 forum to keep up with.

Who needs treatments? I just turn the volume up more. :-)

I like Jloveys' approach also. He is breaking up the reflections with good decorating choices. I can't say that is what I've done and I don't have much room for additional furniture. After finding some recipes online I have made many bass traps. About 12 circular and 5 panel type. It has helped my room quite a bit, and believe me the room needs help being the typical finished basement with drop ceiling. Now that I have most of my system together I may try some commercial products to see if they are even better. ASC, GIK, RealTraps are all good places to checkout.

I'm not really a "nay", Bob. Good luck!
