What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found?


I  am looking into adding some room acoustic treatments to my room.  I am just looking for advice on some simple room treatments that fellow members found worthy of purchase.

But then, I spent a few decades in sound studios, so I'm probably odd man out here. "

This must be basic. No audiophile should ever put up big pictures with reflecting glass-fronts. We need to be aware of the impact a leather sofa has in the room versus a velour sofa or chair. Know that real paintings made on canvas are wery efficient diffractors and will eat flutter-echo. Decorative wooden blinds are actually adjustable diffractors and will calm down big windows or mybe a wall. Avoid naked corners, try to brake them up with something. I have a big plastic tree in one of mine, next to a classic painting with a matching motive. Females looks at this and give me an appreciative look. If they only knew..



"The suggestion of crowded bookshelves, curtains, carpets and clutter is no more than guesswork. Adding any or all of these will have an audible effect, unfortunately it probably isn't an improvement. The books will just collect dust and the drapes and carpet are only narrow- band absorbers."


Wrong, but as elsewhere, you`ll need some skills and patience. You need to know what you are doing. Listen to this guy, he`s a bit skilled:
