Sound quality and timbre are usually affected at about 2kHz and higher.Furnishings:Try moving the ottoman that sits between your chairs and the speaker... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Pubul57 - I used to have an Audio Aero Capitole MKII SE CDplayer with built in preamp connected directly to my amp. I had to sell it to buy a new transmission for the car (ugh!!) so will be using a old Sony CD player with the Lightspeed until fund... | |

| For a boomy room, what panels will reduce mid-bass While a tapestry / carpet hung on the wall looks nice and tames high frequencies by absorbing them, it'll not reduce the room boom of lower frequencies that the original poster had enquired about - it's too thin and there isn't enough of an air sp... | |
| For a boomy room, what panels will reduce mid-bass Sayhi5,I think you need a strategy, one of which may be:* Problem Identification - first use a SPL meter and test tones to isolate the offending bass mode frequencies.

| Room treatment advice needed Glai - I agree with what you've said and experienced.I'd add that I find a mix of LOW FREQ absoprtion and MID/HIGH FREQ diffusion works best. Broadband absorption for low-to-high frequencies tends to narrow the soundstage and create more defined s... | |
