Your system looks great.You are ready to take the plunge.Room acoustic treatments.The easy one is the first reflections.Sit in your listening chair,have someone hold a mirror flat to the wall on the right side and left side of your speakers until you see the tweeter in the mirror.Those are your first reflections.They will reflect sound fractions of a second after the sound leaves your speaker.Take a couple of couch cushions and put them on those points on each side wall and you will notice something very different.Do the same to the ceiling.Hold a mirror flat to the ceiling until you see each tweeter in the reflection(there will be two spots on the ceiling unlike the single spot on the side wall)Take a couple of pillows and four drywall screws and screw each pillow to the ceiling and see what you hear(your wife about to cut your stupid thoat).These are your first reflective surfaces.It costed you about an hour and eight drywall screws to see that the acoustic treatment police will soon arrive.Good luck.Patch up that ceiling too!
What to upgrade next?
I am happy with my system as it is, but I am, as I'm sure most of us are, looking for better and better sound. I'm not sure what my best next upgrade would be. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I do not have an unlimited budget, but I am not completely handicaped finacialy either. My system as it stands is as follows.
