[QUOTE="RRankin, post: 1076903, member: 23526"] It is amazing what can be achieved with room treatment. I agree with Yossarian: start with the low hanging fruit as he described. I was, for instance, astounded by the difference in imaging I achieved a couple of years ago when I fitted some extra absorber panels I had on front wall (the wall behind the speakers and system). Prior to this a large projector screen resided there, so no prior room treatment on this wall besides the projector screen which I suppose was (at least) less reflective than a bare wall. Vocal image is now better than ever. From some practical experience over the years, I would now go as far as saying that spending any large amount of money on a system, with a poor room, is well......not ideal. I understand this is not the route most of us take, including my younger self. It is different now to the older me, if I ever move, that's the first thing I would do in the new hifi room, make sure the room is good. This will differ according to personal taste, I prefer a dead room, I have near zero clap-echo for instance. This may not work for all. [/QUOTE]
