[QUOTE="Bravick, post: 184417, member: 3649"] It also depend on the frequency you are measuring. At the distance you measure (or listen), some frequencies will be boosted by the reflections(In phase), while others will be almost cancelled. (Reflection out of phase) This is where room treatment helps. Minimises reflections. I initially had a room full of reflections and resonances. Could not get any bass at my listening position. I am one of the unlucky ones stuck with a square listening room. 2 Roles of covered Pink Aerolite in the corners, curtains on 3 walls, fluffy couch, hollow paintings on the walls and thick carpeting solved most of it. Still left with the 330Hz resonance caused by the room length. Must still build panels to absorb this specific frequency. At the end of the day it is all worth it. It made more of a difference to sound quality than any other change I made, including my equipment upgrades. Having a square room, the Cardas 5/8 positioning did not work for me. No matter what the toe-in was, I had no stage depth. I eventually settled on a listening triangle inside the room. Position from back wall was detemined by my speaker's bass responce. IOW I listened untill I had the bass that I wanted. Full, but smooth. No booming. (other than the resonance). Width was determined by my triangle (determined by room size) Toe-in was determined by staging. All this time spent eventually paid off. The ProAc's have never sounded this good. Regards, [/QUOTE]
