• There will be some kind of big rug.

    Also one wall is an opening into the rest of the house, it's quite open plan, so that will have a full blackout curtain. Also behind the sofa is a bay window which will also have a black out curtain, so effectively the rear wall and one side wall will be soft materials.

    Then right opposite the speakers will be a big fat lump who can also absorb resonant frequencies.

    After a month or so I will then run the DIRAC room calibration and see what difference that makes to the overall sound.

  • Hah!
    DIRAC is meant to be pretty good but you can’t beat physics with it. All that money on components, it might be worth chucking a few broadband/bass traps up if it’s a dedicated room. The curtains and rug should help with flutter but you’ll still get ringing and smearing.
    I knew I needed them since moving here but I’m still shocked how much difference the panels in my studio room have made - everything sounds more expensive!

  • The whole extension has now been tiled, electrics are going in and kitchen is installed next week. It is basically an empty shell. If you clap it resonates for about 6 seconds at the moment. The place needs some soft furnishing!
