How tall do you like your images?


Just wondering, when you listen, do you like your stereo image to be at ear level, above, below, or do you like planars thanks to having a steady image no matter if you are standing or sitting?

This discussion has been very interesting in terms of provoking thought around what I feel, acoustic treatment wise, is the remaining weak link of my room.

 

My listening room is my living room, so it has double duty of TV and music. I would love to add diffusion between the speakers, but it would have to be removable which eliminates a solid number of wood options given the weight. Would anyone have recommendations of what could be used? 

@christianb5s4  Unfortunately TV's are a difficult item to overcome.  If you can put it behind a movable curtain, that is ideal, otherwise compensate by making sure the rest of your room is treated well.  Treat the ceiling, diffuse behind the listener and to the sides of the speakers.

@erik_squires Out of those, I haven't done ceiling but I did treat the others mentioned. Thankfully I have vaulted ceilings which helps but my WAF of existing treatment is definitely near or at the limits!

Depending on how your speakers are set up, it may also help to put standing panels between the speakers and the TV.

I took delivery of new speakers yesterday, and this thread popped right into my mind as one of the primary changes I noticed.  Interesting so far!
