i agree. i noticed that when i first getting more into speaker listening and my music. i decided to put carpet on my cieling and wall behind me in my attic since it's the largest area of this very old house and my main listening spot and of course i got the carpet for free. it was pain in the ass trying to staple them to stay on the crappy drywall even with my heavy duty black N decker staple gun i borrowed. i also did the whole carpet thing cause my attic has zero insulation so putting carpet up will not only improve acoustics but prevent hot air during the summer pouring through the walls forcing my air conditioner to work harder to keep the place cool and keep the cool air trapped.i gotten this idea as well cause i read carpet helps absorb midrange and high frequency reflections.
thing i noticed right away when carpet was put up was a major improvement in the soundstage and stereo image. so much more defined and open. i never heard soundstage like this before from my speakers and the midrange and highs were more natural and clear to my ears. it was worth the annoyance i went through doing the work on my own. i still have some more work to do in my attic cause this house is very old and doesn't handle strong winds very well. and cause of course whoever did the drywall job before i moved in here seem to do a quick job putting it up and didn't do it properly.
