"The room can totally wreck, or make, a system"


For those interested in dealing with the most important part of their system -- indeed, the precondition for a good system: the room.

@grannyring  Looking forward to you hearing my room soon.

I have not posted a sweep of the totally untreated room, just the partially treated room (first reflections at sides and on the ceiling slopes)[orange line]. Regardless, having a room almost perfect wrt the Fibonacci preferred ratio (10x17x23) it still needed some serious bass trapping. Just a taste of what treatments can do to improve the room response.

Today I have all 4 corners heavily trapped. The rear corner traps hide behind the Real Traps Near Diffusors (half diffusor/half trap). Those hidden traps are solid triangles of OC703 (your friend!) stacked behind the Real Traps units.

Good advice abounds here. Too much absorption gives you a dead and boring room. Some of us who built HT's found out they suck for 2 channel!
