| Room treatment can be addictive @Maghister The aesthetics were in part a nod to my wife. She does draw the line somewhere. And a compliment from you is noteworthy! Thank you. | |
| Room treatment can be addictive @andy2 Speaker sound waves are first reflected from the sides, ceiling and floor and compete for your attention with the initial sound waves directly from the speaker. Although the reflections arrive later and are measurably distinct, the... | |
| Room treatment can be addictive Alternatively, one might have a partner who is happy to devote a room to music and video. Kind of the ultimate in patience/indulgence/tolerance. She also told me to buy the car I had always dreamed of. Luckiest man in the world I am. | |
| Your Favorite Room at AXPONA 2025? I was happy to listen to any room that ran Acora speakers. Smooth and well balanced. The Focal room was my least favorite. Boomy bass that just got louder the closer you got to it. The opposite of well balanced. The Fyne speakers were also very nice | |
| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors +1 whole house surge suppressors. I am fond of the Environmental Potential brand. It uses self healing thermal MOV’s. | |

| Room treatment can be addictive @signaforce I believe the left side is not much of an issue since the first reflection points are so far removed that reflected waves would not be perceptible. For the right, I suggest 242 absorption panels that you can place when listening serio... | |
| Does loudness play a part in your appreciation? Between 80 and 90 dB C-weighted on Decibel X iPhone app. Can't feel the bass much below that... | |
| Room treatment can be addictive @Baylinor Thank you. As I often see stated here, everything matters. @kofibaffour, @jl35 I agree that science, REW, and restraint are all good things, but without a doubt, simply putting some absorption at first reflection points should be ma... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Y'all may not like Bruce's singing, but the quality of his recordings is beyond reproach. Joe Cocker on the other hand... | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? My mistake. I do like Eva Cassidy at 90 dB, C weighted, max not peak, on iPhone Decibel X app. |
