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?

Hi Dan, That may be true that there are other sites with acoustic forums, but we all know that Audiogon is the best audio site around and that its members deserves all questions answered with good info and not have to go elswhere to ask or receive great acoustic knowledge.

This is too important of a subject to ignore, especially if Audiogon wants to continue to be the best and most respected site on the net for audio discussion.

This is not the first question about acoustics here and they are usuallly lost in the speakers/general/etc forums. They deserve proper answers in a proper forum.

In my opinion the soundquality mainly depends on the quality of the reflection. I use Acoustic System resonators, sugar cubes and Acoustic Revive RR 77. Now my room is treated with resonators the differences between components are significant smaller. I mean even a small setup sounds great now.

Yeah that's my way of sucking up. I gotta try to be nice sometimes.

Some DIY tube traps but mostly ATS panels have deadened my space nicely, finally. It was really too lively. But I'm "pretty" satisfied now. Who am I kidding? Are we ever really satisfied?
