@grislybutter do you think it would be helpful to describe it unambiguously when the situation is ambitious!?
Room with glass windows as a walls.
My daughter moved from first floor townhouse apartment to 42nd floor skyscraper apartment and fifty percent of her apartment walls are actually glass windows from floor to ceiling now.
I helped her with setting up her system at old place and the sound was pretty decent however new apartment acoustic wise is total disaster.
Of course I did put her system together at new place but sound is terrible. She actually understands all my explanations about acoustic issues at new place, but she doesn’t take it seriously. My daughter actually listens to a lot of music, sometimes for hours however I wouldn’t call her audiophile, probably just a serious music lover and I understand that she will have listening fatigue pretty soon at her new place.
Acoustic treatment probably would be limited or refused due to esthetic and design incompatibility. Has anyone experienced setting up a system in such conditions, any advice?

@rodman99999 Thanks Rodman, ripple-fold curtains is way to go. We’ll definitely consider that.

@onhwy61 Yes, she definitely noticed the problem, but as I see she is too overwhelmed with adapting to the new place, organizing everything there, so sound system is not priority yet. Also she is trying to be more independent and I think she will not complain anyway but probably she will just limit her listening instead. |
@axpert No, it’s not a loft apartment with a huge open space, and no reflective ceiling, floors are laminate. It’s one bedroom apartment with office room and living room divided by structural wall, but that wall is actually not a full wall and not connected with a glass window wall on the side, the space between them is approximately one feet. The system and speakers are facing this structural wall and the other window glass wall is behind the speakers.

@grislybutter why you misinterpret my post!? Did it tell that she doesn’t care about the issue!? |
@onhwy61 you right, youngsters needs their freedom, totally agreed with you, I’m actually proud of my kids being free and independent at their young age, however when you know your child and when you see that she is interesting in something you interesting too, you want her to keep running that good game and you want to be helpful that’s all. |
@ yyzsantabarbara No Roon or JRiver. She has access to my Qobuz Studio Family tire and she stream it via Teac NT-505. |
My is reasonable. She is not shy to ask for my advice in tech questions, audio system, cars etc. recently she asked for good old movies. For music she has own taste, but when some times she listened to my stuff at home or in my car, she is asking me for a names. When advice is coming by my initiative it could be ignored for some time but when she rolled it in her head for a while she returns to it and asks me like nothing happened, makes it look like it her initiative:)
