Room treatments

Thanks for the heads up on both. I know I can't get my room super quiet but I'm going for as quiet as possible Ima 117 year old highwater craftsman home with 10ft coved ceilings that is really noisy. I'd like to try to get it as quiet as I can and work backwards. So, I'll check out that book and see what's up.  Thanks

Just echoe-y. I guess I'm just trying to get the most out of what I have. I can look past traffic and other outside noises but as my system is pretty exceptional (to me) I'm moving toward maximizing the room.

Great ideas williewonka! I definitely have some places that I can hide foam panels...

Randy, thanks for the clapping tip.

My sofa is only 18 inches from the rear wall and about 12 ft from my speakers. I have two diffusers about 5.5 ft high on either side of the sofa the wall. 

a lot of my issues/uncertainty come from the fact that I want the room to stay aesthetically pleasing. This is why I'm gonna do another diffuser.  I'm also going to do some simple bass traps that I can hide well...

@williewonka thanks! I may try that...

@asvjerry I'm in a 117 year old craftsman and I know I can improve a bit

Someone mentioned the foam factory and I think some of their things may work for me.

what a great discussion his formed into!

thanks everyone for all the input!
