Room Treatment: Whatcha Got?


As I learn (Bertrand Russel would say 'as I expand my ignorance') I'm developing a different question to ask of audiophile friends. [ought I say phriends? No!]

Now, instead of asking what gear they listen to, or if they like vinyl, I'm really interested in their room; is it treated, or not? And what technique(s) / how much time is invested in setting up?

That's it: despite the current cover of Stereophile, size no longer matters to me, neither do components at this point. I don't even care about CD / TT until I've learned what effort a listener has put into working the room.

What's your story?

Recently tired the Furutech version of the Acoustic Revive RWL-3 Diffuser. I use it between the speakers and found a significant improvement. That was the good news. Now the bad news. I need to 'retune' the room to see what additional beneifts can can found. This stuff never ends. I am in the 'its the room, stupid' school of audio.
No treatment, just living room, but cleverly damped. Wooden floor, large bookshelf on one side, heavy velvet curtains on the other, big velvet sofa, heavy leather carpet, sounds much better than "dedicated" rooms I heard. Avoid absolutely stone floor. IMHO.

My listening space is baffled with a complex admixture of adorbing absorbing a complex reflective facades creating a very halographic but not numb overdamped anechoic chamber. Keep it lively. a lot like Jloveys but piles of useless stuff all over.
