My room

**rlogle** · **05-30-06, 09:33 PM**

This is a living room, but I don't mind if it looks like a dedicated ht. I have Sony 50" XBR1 (SXRD), BIC Acoustech Cinema Series 5.1 system, Yamaha RX-V750 7.1 receiver. The room has 9ft ceilings, plaster walls and hardwood floors. I have many, many pictures on the walls, a loveseat, end tables, a desk, chair and computer. Any thoughts on how to better the sound?

What budget?

Room is 13'x12'.
It seems there is a lot of reverberations in the room. I'm thinking if I could make me some wall panels to hang on the wall made out of say 1x4's and fiberglass insulation panels. Covered in some fabric or somthing.

Hi there,

My room was very live to say the least and so I put up acoustic panels, also covered some of them with fabric. The difference to my SQ was incredible. Have a look at http://www.hometheatershack.com/foru...9-my-gear.html if you want to see the end results.

Here is one of the better threads I've seen on DIY panels.

And here is the a good thread on the theory of why you might want to build some absorbers.

Are the pictures at reflection points on the walls? Perhaps moving them and replacing with the panels will do a lot.
