Re: HT acoustic treatments?


Bass control - good.

2" on all the walls - too much surface area.

Rear wall and side walls - depends on a lot of variables.

If you're doing 7.1 for HT, you'd be better off with at least the surrounds as monitors and up at 6' or so off the floor. Towers are a waste as you should be cutting them off at 80Hz or so to feed to the sub - not to mention being able to get them up where they need to be.
