Many of us find that completely open rooms; let too much bass escape, adds extra strain to amp/speakers, allows noise from other rooms in and visa versa.
What are the limits of room correction/ treatments ?
My old listening room was open to other parts of the house allowing excess bass energy to escape and had a high 13ft. ceiling. Clear tight bass and open clear midrange even when loud. My current room, while bigger ( 17 x 21), is boxy with 9' ceilings and a single door entrance. You can really hear the room getting in the way on many recordings, esp with louder complex recordings. Can room correction + treatments really make my current room sound like the old one?
