If you have problems, it can be hard to sort them out all at once. Place your speakers for maximum bass smoothness, then sit in your listening seat. Have someone get a ladder and a small mirror and move the mirror across the ceiling until you can see the front of the speakers in the mirror. This is the first reflection point. Often a bit of treatment at this spot will break up the first reflection and that can get you a good ways to improving the issue. You may have to experiment with how much area needs to be covered as this is a function of the dispersion of the tweeter.The same technique can be used on hard-surface floors and rear and side walls.
Is my ceiling too low?
Hi, I am going to move to a new house with a 15'3"x12'x7'8" (LxWxH) room in the basement as my future dedicated listening room. Is the ceiling too low? I am listening to a pair of Harbeth HL5 with Naims.
I am a little bit upset because I had a chance to ask the builder to make the basement ceiling higher such as 9' but I didn't because I thought the ceiling would be 8ft, which I think it's ok, until recently I double checked my blue print: it's 7'9" minus the ceiling and berber carpet, not 8ft...and it's too late the change it now...
Please give me some opions, thanks!
