| Re: Sonnie's Accoustical Panels
When I put the side panels up I noticed a slight inprovment in imaging. Vocals were more defined. Nice but not eye opening.
The ceiling was a waste of time, but they sure do look cool in the room. Sonnie and I have the same speakers which have very limited vertical disspersion. Sitting or standing makes a big difference. I actually have mine on stands (these are 40"+ towers)
Side wall and ceiling panels set me back about $150, and it was fun. It did make the room "deader" and it was pretty live to begin with. A lot of slap echo.
Bass traps: I feel about these like others feel about PEQ's. I wouldn't have a room without them. HUGE improvemnet!!!! Even the wife wants bass traps in the family room (2 channel system) when we remodel it. I'll never have another system w/o them.
All in all I'm very happy with the sound in my room. Like Sonnie, I'm not really a critical listener though. Been there in years gone by, but now I just enjoy the music or movie not the equipment.
