| Room size From the perspective of system matching, I'd say moderate to moderate +. From the perspective of room acoustics, it's either small or large. Yours would be considered small. Bryan PapeLead Designer - GIK Acoustics | |
| I'm looking for a resonably priced 6+ outlet BPT is one of only 2 brands I've had in my system that I'd keep (and did). All the rest just killed the dynamics and life in my system.

| Is dirty power the culprit? I don't know if it's ALWAYS a power thing but my guess based on your situation is that it's very likely. There are some very good power conditioners out there. The only 2 I'd put in my system would be the BPT and the Running Springs. If you have a... | |

| Treating a small room with diffusers? Absolutely. He's several feet away. Also, it matters what range of frequencies the diffusion is effective in as to the minimum distance. Those diffusers shown in those pics are probably maybe good to 700Hz or so if that low.Bryan PapeGIK Acoustics | |
| Room open on 2 sides, room treatment? What needs to happen is to treat the hard surfaces in your area that are opposite the open areas. This will minimize the non-symmetry by reducing the intensity of the reflections making it appear acoustically farther away like the other side.Bryan... | |
| Treating a small room with diffusers? Sorry - I'll have to disagree. Diffusion is best when you're farther away as the waves need proper time and distance to spread out. When you sit very close to a boundary, the biggest issue is actually bass buildup which requires absorption.I agree... | |
| Treating a small room with diffusers? To the OP1. What are diffusors?**** Proper diffusion scatters sound not only in the physical domain but also in the time domain. There are a variety of uses from minimization of comb filtering behind bipole/dipole speakers to minimization of slap ... | |
| Materials for absorption panels Because most of them in there are made of foam - and questionable foam at that. There are some decent ones there but nothing that you can't do cheaper DIY. | |
| Which Totem is better: Mani-2 or Forest? If you can drive them, the Mani 2's are exceptional. They are what I have always dreamed of. A small 2 way that images like mad but with the bottom end of a floor stander. | |
