Room Treatment

Herman,you can buy them at any Home Depot,Lowe's etc.Just remember to put bare fiberglass side out towards the room and cover them with some fabric so you don't have fiberglass particles floating in the air.Good Luck!!!

Happy New Year

I bought 24" wide insulation at Home Depot, the type covered in a translucent pick plastic with a white fiberglass fill, some 1/4" luan, and some reasonably transparent fabric that matched my room. I cut the 4'x8' luan into 2'x4' sheets, stapled the insulation to the luan at the edges, and covered with fabric. These panels are both reflective and absorbtive. I've placed them at key reflection points and behind my listening position. The result has been quite dramatic, although I am still curious what a well done commercial solution would sound like.

this is not a simple question with simple answers. absorption alone is not as pleasing as a combination of absorption, deflection and diffusion. the best sound room i've ever experienced is at goodwin's highend in waltham, mass. you can view it on thier website: goodwinshighend.com. the site also has some useful information for diy'ers (tho its not intended for this purpose). i'd suggest you take a peak. BTW, i have absolutely no connection to goodwins. i simply visted the store on a trip to boston/providence last month, was treated exceedingly graciously, and learned some important lessons from mr. goodwin and his staff.

All of us have experienced corner loadind it's one of the area's that cause the most amount of pain. Try a solid brass pot on a brass chain with a nice bushy hanging plant, remember it has to be a brass pot to realy impress. Try it! See you after the holliday God Bless. doc
