I need some help treating my basement Ht room.
First of im the same jdeanmc who has worried everyone senseless on the rew forum,but after many,many posts and with the help of alot of very patient,intelligent people,i have finally gotten my setup sounding much better.
Now im at the point of tackling room treatments.I dont know what all info is needed so i may include more than whats neccesary,if so,sorry in advance.
My room is 21.3x21.3 with 8 foot 4inch ceilings.side walls are tongue in groove,studs,insulation then concrete block,front wall is tongue in groove over insulation then sheetrock(the other side of this wall, is the undserstairs room and the walk that leads up the stairs)back wall is tongue in groove,insulation,studs then pegboard(the back side of this wall is the basement garage)
The problem areas i have as far as room mode calculators is that the left corner is actually 4 feet 2 inches back from the front wall(the staircase)the right corner has the door for the understairs utility room,the rear left has a 4x8 restroom that protrudes into the room and the rr right corner has door leading into garage!!! so corner treatments are pretty much out i guess.
The ceiling is uninsulated on "scissor joist"which then becomes the hardwood floor of the great room upstairs.
My "ears"at listening position are currently 12foot 6 inches from front wall,8 foot 7 inches from rear wall,this keeps me slightly in front of the restroom on the left.
Equipment list...
Klipsch rf-3 II fronts,klipsch rc-3II center,klipsch cdt 5800 rear surrounds(in ceiling)HSU vtf mk3 ho(currently turbo removed)and hsu mbm12 centered behind sofa,Yamaha rx-v1800 receiver and bfd 1100.
You can see my feeble attempt at first reflection point traps as well as 4 inch bass traps.I want to replace these with some sort of built in columns,with the material made into this,possibly solid up a few feet,we have cats and i dont want these getting "climbed"hence the grills removed on all speakers in the pics(this wasnt a vanity issue!)
I would like to move all equipment into the utilty room(i have the rf expander with univesal remote)as well as add projector and screen where the tv is now.
What are options as far as placement,# of panels,ideas on building columns etc.
I want best bang for the buck and dont want to build anything thats not needed.
Im lookin for the best sound quality that i can get without redoing the room as far as adding walls,while adding touches that wont look like a recording studio.
All suggestions welcome.
