Hi all, Hope you can help.
My room is a rather big as it contains my kitchen, my dining room and my living room. Its consists of several rooms, but the main room where the speakers are placed measures 455cm wide by 960cm long, 230cm to the ceiling.
Floor is massive wooden oak planks. Walls are brick; most walls are actually covered with panorama windows. Front wall behind speakers is however plaster/knauff with fiber and paint, and rear wall is all windows and overall both sides are more or less open to either the kitchen or a second living room. However the front area around the speakers does have sides. To the left there is a plaster wall with a glass door (thick glass in massive maghony). To the right a big panorama window covering ¾ from top and down.
A big heavy carpet is placed between the speakers. In the remaining space some midsize carpets are placed strategically. Paintings and minor bookshelves cover only a fraction of the walls. A three seat sofa is placed against the side and 3 meter dining table (60 mm thick massive oak standing on a thin carpet) in the far end. That is pretty much all the furnishing in the rather large room.
My system is on center in the room, and it seems to works well.
I only listen to two channels and I have no subwoofer located in the room. Stereo imaging and stage size is key for me.
I have in total 9 sheets of 15mm Rockfon acoustics panels produced by Rockwool placed behind the speakers only to adjust the RT60 down a bit. They only work from 500hz and upwards with a Noise Reduction Coefficient around 1.
I have not yet treated the sidewall 1st reflection points as haven’t made up my mind yet.
Should go for diffusion or absorption? I see many placing multible basstraps i all corners in a room. Doesnt that kill the energy in the music? Maybe great for recording but what about for reproduction?
Should I go for mobile (wife acceptance) basstraps placed on stands with rubber wheels underneath.
Height two pieces of 703?
Or
Same height mobile difussors
I currently have a nasty dips in my response around the 50 hertz (not the speaker; Dali MS4), and I would like to have this smoothed out.
I will naturally upload any measurement you like from REW..
