Try this free tweak - Speaker Slumber Party!

@asvjerry

Thanks so much. I don’t really mind it, but I do worry so many will pile on and discredit an important idea. The same people who will spend endless quantities on fuses and quantum room purifiers are sometimes exactly the same that refuse to consider room acoustics at all.

I think that the pillows on the floor is a really good _experiment_ (not installation) because you can hear a change in tonal balance happen, despite them not being in direct line of reflections. As others have pointed out, the sound we perceive is not like light from a laser beam.

How quickly and smoothly different bands in the room decay has a major influence on how we perceive the smoothness of the frequency response. It's a very inexpensive, and temporary (unless you have a very large dog) experiment.

Riley,

The point is..... just close your eyes and try it. :) Listen for yourself. :) Play a little and try things you may not otherwise.

Pillows on the floor can be a really interesting learning experiment, especially between the speakers. :) They can demonstrate how timbre can be shaped unexpectedly. :)

It is just something to try, not to live with guys.

And while I appreciate the humor, unlike most tweaks, this is based on science and experience. I'm hoping that trying out something for free will help people discover the importance of room acoustic treatment, and seek solutions from reputable providers.

Best,
