    Floor Bracing Anyone?

    I've been a proponent of stiffening speaker boxes and damping panels to reduce their overall contribution to the sound since I first learned about box resonance over 40 years ago. Today I stiffened my room by bracing the suspended floor. (sorry no pics!) Our living room is a 20' x 24' space...

    System incoming! JBL S2600 + Sansui Au-D907x + TD147

    Hi all! I posted a ways back in the introductions thread foreshadowing putting a new system together after moving. Located in Osaka. I’m hoping to get some answers to some questions as I scramble to put odds and ends together. A slightly disorganized mix of room treatment, placement, and...

    Speaker suggestion for a difficult room

    So I am in a position to upgrade speakers and I am trying to make a good decision here. My room is far from ideal. I have to position the speakers on the long wall. I would love to do things different but it just won’t work as far as walking around and best utilizing the space. The room is 23’...

    Bass Traps & Diffusers

    This is my room. The room and the stuff in it isn't going to change. I'm interested in making the most of what I've got to work with. Treating the room is going to happen in increments. The cabinets on each side of the speakers are problematic but there they are. I'm not sure where to start with...

    Using ASC Tube SuperTraps behind OB speakers ?

    Hi there, I've been using ASC Tube SuperTraps (12", with reflective front) behind my KEF Cantatas (two tubes at about 1/4-1/3 on the front wall) with great success on improving the soundstage. Now that I got my first OB speakers (Emerald Physics EP 4.7), I have found removing absorption...

    Small living room setup advice

    Hi guys, I'm trying to find the best place for my speakers and the HIFI rack. I've tried a few different options with the speakers's positioning e.g in the bay window (c), against the wall opposite to the window (a) and on the both side of the fireplace (b). I was impressed by the sound with...

    Newbie questions about minimal treatment in a large room

    Hey all, We recently converted our garage into a gym/theater. It's also my main listening space. The room is 23' x 24' ,10' ceilings, new drywall with semigloss paint, and padded carpeting. I've been interested in room treatment, but I found it kind of daunting and I didn't want to invest a ton...

    Here is a challenge for making great acoustics

    I just built a wooden shed for a workshop. The walls are regular plywood. It is 8 x 12 with a rubber floor. I just bought a Concept 5.5 receiver and a Sony 400 cd player and KEF 50es speakers. What room treatment would everyone suggest to get the best sound.

    Interesting Acoustical Treatment

    See more info here - http://layerdesign.com/projects/woven-image/ Designed for large open spaces that need some "quieting" - think office cubicle areas, etc. Fabric sections are made from hemp fiber, structure from thermoplastic and aluminum. Probably quite pricey, since no cost information...
