[QUOTE="Vaughan, post: 178025, member: 693"] I have quite a bit of broad band absorption in my room. The improvement in bass articulation has been nothing short of astonishing. But interestingly enough, dialog clarity has improved tremendously after adding in the treatment. I have floor to ceiling broad band absorbers in my front two corners and a few other absorbers for first reflection. Not bass traps per se (they are not helm holtz resonators), but rather cover a wide range. The key to achieving decent results, in my opinion, is placement and overall surface area. If using a lot of fiberglass I would factor in a membrane to reflect some of the high frequencies back into the room, otherwise you might be left with a dull, dead sounding room. In fact the worst rooms I've been in have been overly treated with plain fiberglass. The highs end up muted, the bass still sounds muddy, due to inadequate thickness and/or placement and so the result is a boomy, muddy sounding room. [/QUOTE]
