My general advice would be: do as much as you reasonably can for room treatments, and add room correction too.
Room treatments don't only work at the "sweet spot", they can really help broaden it. Typical places to try address would be: side-wall first reflection points (with absorptive panels, diffusers, or just fabric/hangings); behind the speakers or at speaker-wall reflection points (especially if your speakers are close to the wall); and maybe diffusion behind the listening seat and/or ceiling-mounted. It's worth getting hold of a couple cheap absorptive panels to try in different locations, even if you won't be able to mount them long-term for aesthetics. Room correction does tend to narrow the sweet-spot again. I think there are two factors at work here: correction for the speaker itself, and then the room influences; if you have not-particularly-great loudspeakers, or particularly bad low-end boominess, you'll notice an improvement in clarity across the whole room. -- inguz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ inguz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29680 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
