Thank you thank you thank you. We spend so much time thinking about what kind of cabinets and baffles and wave guides our drivers are operating in. But, the room is the real cabinet. Think of the entire loudspeaker as the driver, and the room is the cabinet and waveguide. I think the thing about audiophiles is that there are no bragging rights or ego boosts to room treatment the way there are with name dropping or bragging rights about different brands, or how much money was spent on a specific component. But, the room is where the sound happens. Thank you for taking this on and taking this seriously. Hoping your efforts help shift the conversation. Much appreciated!

I also despise clutter and I feel like the balance and flow of a room is paramount to me being productive and clear-headed. That said, room treatment passes the test because I look at it and the appeal of its function can over-ride much of my design squabbling. So it’s not just design, it’s also function that brings me calm and clarity. I don’t feel at all like a control-freak but more a lover of taming chaos. Great videos. Much to think about.

Hi Darko audio, I didn't realise how much room treatment can do. I live in a quare boxed living room. Little small house. Lucky I have got neighbours and they are quite deaf. But the sound quality isn't for them 😊 so I did cheap soundproof foam, course mainly I got it for free. Placed a 2x2 meter thin wood and glued the foam on to it. Placed that panel behind my listning position. Did the same on the ceiling but only a view tiles with open concrete spaces. A big floor carpet on the floor between speakers and listning position. Unbelievable that so little do so much. My stereo is much more focused and a detailed soundstage. Little sounds from far behind the speakers. I keep this for what it is. Next house will be getting a better angled room and full acoustic treatment. I bet this treatment is far more valueble the all my cable upgrades and sourses upgrades combined. Thank you for the great video. Cheers

@5angels332 2 жыл бұрын

I really enjoyed these two reviews. Everything you say makes perfect sense. Our ears are the most important component of any system and we can tweak things to make the system sound better through speaker positioning, better cabling etc etc. I can still remember the first time I found the sweet spot for my speakers, it was as if I had upgraded my whole system. Thanks for sharing John, keep them coming.

What I do have is home made bass traps/diffuser behind speakers, no first reflection points, large rug on the foot under speakers and a giant rug on the front wall. It sounds 10x better with those few bits than nothing at all. Room treatment is a very powerful tool, not to mention proper speaker placement.

In response to John's previous comment regarding this treatment of the room potentially bringing his experience when reviewing products further from the ordinary consumer... I believe that having a treated room better allows the listener to better judge the difference between different pieces of gear. It takes the room (at least to some extent) out of the equation, thus yielding a better informed review. Although products will sound different in different rooms, this allows the reviewer to give an honest opinion on how products sound in relation to one another. I for one applaud this effort.

@jimomertz 2 жыл бұрын

Room treatment definitely helps. My room used to be quite reflective, and playing music that had a lot of reverb in it was beyond irritating. It was unlistenable. Absorbers took care of that and now it’s just a recording with reverb in it. I would say the soundstage is more focused now, with better localization of the players in the recording, although narrowed. I can play music for longer periods of time and not get fatiguing. I’m happy I did it. I didn’t have to use ceiling treatment, which I consider going too far.

The new panels look great! Also, I see you've got the Meze Audio Liric there. Can't wait to (hopefully) hear your thoughts on it. Because I'm a renter that moves regularly and often live in spaces that are acoustic nightmares, I have a small collection of panels that do help, but there's only so much you can do when your space is changing every couple years. Owning a room that I can treat to the nines and turn into an ideal listening space is at the top of my audio bucket list.

I have curtains of different materials installed on all 4 walls of the room. They can open and close to expose part of the walls. Behind the curtains there are sections of the walls with other material attached flat against the wall. The floor is covered in thick carpet. The only true reflecting surface is the ceiling The room is also a home cinema with 120 inch motorised screen. Heavy motorised velvet curtains open and close in front of the screen. With the speakers placed about 3 feet in from the side walls and about 4 feet from the front wall I get a very non-fatiguing sound image where i can definitely hear the natural reverberation of the instruments in the recording giving an almost 3 dimensional soundstage

John, I can only congratulate you on the decision you have made, for a few years now I also mentioned it in one of your videos, each time you improve more, since you removed the central rack and left it free, then you put bass traps in the corners and obasorption on the front wall, as you have already realized, this makes a BIG difference to listen to equipment, everything is cleaned, there is less stress, the brain does not get tired trying to discover what is in music, it is like when You are at the bar and try to listen to the person who is speaking to you, that is a mere example of what is achieved by helping the brain to work less and enjoy more. And when you get used to that sound and remove it, you will no longer be able to live without it and it is now that you know that the most important thing in the audio chain is the room and the speakers, as well as their correct position with respect to the listener. Congratulations

Such a real guy…I loved the presentation and your obvious enthusiasm. I’m new to the idea of acoustical treatment of my own listening space, I have always just managed to stick my head in the sand and try to deny any flaws existed because this was MY wonderful hi-fi gear in MY comfortable home! So just now watching this video caused a spark of comprehension: practical and strategically placed acoustical solutions really do appear to provide a remarkable improvement of sound quality in the listening space, considering the amount of effort involved. And there’s the rub: the kind of treatment shown in your video uses some very expensive acoustic panels. Beautiful to be sure, but rather costly. I’m going to have to do my room treatment more in a DIY manner (sure would be nice to have some of those DC2/DC3 diffusers) and my main question is how do I determine placement of panels, diffusers and traps? Is there some rule of thumb on this, or do I need to have some electronic measurement taken? I think I have the right ideas concerning construction of the panels etc, and since I would be building them myself the subject of “how many” and “where” comes into play. Any and all recommendations on this topic are welcome, it will be knowledge that I don’t currently have. -Thank you -

I totally agree with you; the room has to be treated well before even considering any upgrades. Have you heard of Still Points Aperture panels? I’ve heard so much good stuff about them but they are quite pricey.
