I think before throwing acoustic treatments at the room you should do some research and understand what your room is doing for you and against you. I started with reading the book "The Master Handbook of Acoustics" by F. Alton Everest. This book really helped me get a grasp on the fundamentals of room acoustics. I have to agree with the previous post. If your sources are not up to the task of your new speakers then it won't matter what you change. As far as room acoustics go you can do a lot yourself just by understanding the room and how it interacts with your speakers. I am a big fan of a difussion.
Upgrading audio from speakers...Help!
Hey guys, I have recently upgraded my speakers from a pair of Infinity Kappa 8's to A pair of Matched Legacy Focus. I'm going to start re-building my system from these speakers and heading back through the audio chain. Will go with room treatments since this is a dedicated stereo system room. Where do I start in the chain? I'm thinking since I have the speakers with which I'm going to build my system around I should start with acoustic treatments of the listening room. Would like some suggestions, since this will be a time consuming project, as funds permit. If you don't mind, let's go for the best bang for the buck. I don't have unlimited funds, however you can see that I might be in the audiophile price area with which your expertise is, and within my budget. I live in a very small town so being able to audition equipment is not an option. I have been relying on your expert suggestions to get me this far, and informed in the higher end of audio. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have read the books and mags that have been suggested, and have my own thoughts on where to start. Would love some suggestions from the pros. This could be quite a long project, and if anyone is interested in helping me along my journey, with suggestions, watch a re-born audiophile blossom. Hey, if this doesn't work out, then sorry for the imposition, and maybe I've had a few too many Frosty Beverages. Hey, with yall's help previously, my wife and I have recently gotten back into vinyl and are having a ball. Thanks again everyone, and hope you don't mind me picking your brains.
