[QUOTE="joel, post: 177899, member: 406"] How do you measure the room? That's an interesting question and not so easy to answer. Been reading some white papers recently (Floyd Toole and a few other boffins) and it seems that traditional methods (RT60 and the like) are seriously flawed. But back to the original post. I do a simple test in my listening room whenever people ask about the effectiveness of the bass traps i have. I get them to sit and listen to music while I move a trap. Each time I've done this I've not had to move a trap more than half a metre before i get told that bass quality and quantity has changed for the worse. In my room then bass traps work well. I've also recently been chatting to some people about small room acoustics and what Ive been told (and this concurs with Rodney) is that while some of the solutions available do work, each room has to be treated on its merits. A one panel fits all solution is often not as effective as manufacturers of said panells claim them to be. I used to think that I knew a little about acoustics, but the more I learn, the less I realise I actually know. [/QUOTE]
