My Old house had wood floors and wood paneling on the walls, with a large window of wood shutters on one side. I had a large area rug, and upholstered furniture, with some large artwork (canvas paintings) on the other large wall. The room was rectangular, although the back wall opened into the kitchen. I had no Echo, no brightness, even with Bryston Amp and Martin Logan speakers. That room, as rooms go,still did better than the room I'm in today (if you check my system.)
Hardwood floors Sound treatments
Hello,
I just moved in a condo with hardwood floors and wood shutters on the windows. There is not a lot of furniture in the condo yet but I definately notice the sound change, a lot brighter, echo etc. I am also married so putting strange sound treatments on the wall or ceiling is not an option. I know an area rug will help things but I am looking for tweaks that I can use with real objects..anything but plants as I have cats :) or any other suggestions to help matters. If I cant solve the problem it looks like a good pair of headphones may be the only option.
