Acoustic Treatment on rear wall
Rockadanny, I was considering a single GIK 244 on the wall behind. I was thinking that not only would it kill the reflection back there but might do a pinch of trapping some bass even though I don't really have a bass issue. I was wondering just h... 
Acoustic Treatment on rear wall
Correction, I would like to add absorption on the rear wall and not diffusion. Thanks in advance. 
My ears of tin are over 50
I own Smith's book. I think it has some good info. Again, I misunderstood what I read. It seems to be the opposite that if you’re past 50, you can no longer hear well enough to really care about your sound quality. You can!

I must have misunderstood Jim Smith. I guess as I get older my reading skills are what has deteriorated.

Need small subwoofer for thump
My room is small and all I need is a little bit of dynamic thump to push me over. Plus, for that small thump those subs aren't that cheap...at least for me.

Absorber behind corner bookcase
Basically, it is a flat bookshelf filled with books against a corner that leaves an empty triangular empty space behind. I have been storing some skis behind there but I sold them and I thought of adding some kind of absorbing insulation behind th...

HELP; Acceptable Living Room Sound Treatment
Thanks everyone. I actually have a bass trap from Ready Acoustics in my listening room which is the only place my girlfriend will let me have it. She went bonkers when I suggested that I put some in the living room because it would improve the sou... 
Artists of the Decade
Tfkaudio, are you referring Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco? I spent months trying to like it and it never sunk in. Just now I put it on and all the songs sound familiar, as you might guess, but they still miss. I still don't get them. 
Bass trap in a difficult corner
Thanks. I've seen the GIK website and the price seems right. That pillar traps looks interesting, too. 
Two subs in a small room....
Ok, so, if in a small room, a single subwoofer will suffice, what kind of small sub would be best? Ported? Sealed? Down-firing? And is there any sub that anyone could suggest? 
Two subs in a small room....
I appreciate all the advice. I feel the 10x10 is small but that is what I have for now, but hope to be moving into a new house with something bigger next year, but with the economy I'm not sure. For now, I want the biggest bang for the buck with w... 
Two subs in a small room....
My desire is for a smoother, richer sound as opposed to "more" bottom, if that makes sense. I have one sub already and my bottom end is fine but keep hearing that two subs would give a better audio presentation. I've been thinking that the room I ...
