Small-ish room - 12 X 10
Listening position - 8 ft. from system/speakers
Simple set-up - Pioneer SA-6800 Integrated / Harman Kardon T60c w Shure V15
III / Yamaha cd / Boston Acoustic A70's rotating with
Pioneer S-710 L/R mirror ....see pic attatchment
Room - carpeted / drywalled
Furniture - other half of room from where you see system / so in front of the system rack - desk on one wall, display hutch & record storage on the opposite wall / listening chair directly in front of rack with large tapestry hanging behind chair
--------------------------------------------------
So you can see from the pic this is a basement "man-cave" with the usual small basement window directly behind the rack. That door in the upper right hand corner is where the breaker box is.
I will "never" have perfect acoustics in this room - I get that!
But from what I have read I am thinking about placing directly behind the system, floor to ceiling and wall to wall heavy black curtains. I am hoping to confirm here that this would be at least somewhat beneficial in the acoustical presentation in this room? Would that be the case or would the positive results be minimal at best and not worth the investment....or just a bad idea with no benefit, plain and simple?
One other thing I was contemplating was along one wall (length of room) doing a feature wall of stained tongue and groove spruce - not for acoustics but simply for the look. But would having a solid wood wall actually be detrimental to good acoustics compared with just leaving it drywall?
Your thoughts very much appreciated!! Any clarifying questions welcome!
