Where to start with room acoustics


I just moved into a new house that has a listening room (13 ft x 27ft with 8 1/2 ft ceiling). It is obvious the room needs some help. I have read some of the chapters in Master Handbook of Acoustics by Everest (although some of it is over my head). The question is how to assess the needs for this room. Where should I start?

Although it's always good to be pro-active, it's possible that you just may be a bit overly concerned with your room at this point. Unless of course it's filled with windows.

Your room demensions should work quite well assuming you place your speakers along one of the short walls.

Unless you're chompin' at the bit to resolve all potential problems beforehand, I would recommend installing your system, dedicated lines, and thick berber carpeting/pad, and then analyze any possible acoustic shortcomings thereafter.
