Sweet Fisher 400
I'm pretty sure I recognize that book cover

I'm liking that set up, how many albums?

Thanks! I did my best to make the most of what I have, space-wise. My dream is to turn it into a properly finished room, but that costs more than I can afford and I don't have the skills to do it myself.

How many albums? Jeez, I have no idea. Several thousand, at least, including the ones on the other side of the wall of shelves. I also have hundreds of 45s and 78s. I started buying records in earnest when I was a little kid, around 8 years old, in the early '70s.

Updated Music Room

Here are updated photos of our dedicated music room. Last weekend I painted it and added the GIK acoustic panels. I'm looking for some sort of sound diffuser artwork for the wall above my chair. Any ideas please share. I share the room with my two eight year old musicians in training.

That's classy! Quite the opposite of mine

Main system: JBL 4311Bs powered by a Luxman L-120A:

Workbench system: Tandberg TL-2507s powered by a Sony STR-11L

Gotta get some acoustic treatments in here, but unfortunately I've got some other stuff to take care of in this room first

Book cases and furniture are diffusers also. Looking at your room, you may not need them. What you may need is to place your panels as close to the center of the walls. Laying low the are barely effective. Since your room is rectangular you probably need bass traps in all 4 corners of the room. Also consider that glass covered posters and paintings have little absorption coefficient, I would use canvas paintings instead.

Room acoustics is one of the most important, misunderstood and neglected aspects of sound reproduction. There are good resources in the web. Google "listening room acoustics".

Thank you. The wife has/is taking west african and middle eastern drumming, sort of in conjunction with her belly dancing classes. Ads a little unique musical flavor to our listening space.

Thanks. I haven't hung the panels yet but plan to do so. The room doesn't have many options of moving things around and the piano is a big problem. There are always compromises. But I immediately noticed an improvement with the new panels. The mid range frequencies sound cleaner, which is what I expected, but the highs seem a little brighter and the lower bass stronger.

Yungin: that Sanyo's pretty undermatched for an Oppo DVD player, hmm? Gotta at least get yourself into XBR territory.

Here's my basement or pool room system for this week. I just finished up some remodeling and painting. Yesterday I got around to hooking up the stereo back up. The homemade cabs pictured have been presenting a problem trying to get them to sound decent. I've solved that problem pretty well for now but I do think an econowave are in their future. It's nice to swap between the 2 pair of speakers for comparison sake but the quantums get the nod for sound quality probably because they have much better placement.
