[QUOTE="LIVESOUND, post: 1158509, member: 778"] Take note that the amount of reverberation in a room is related to the listening volume level. If you listen quietly in a highly reverberant room the effect can be pleasing, but with the volume turned up the direct sound is overwhelmed and virtually destroyed. The proportions in the room matter, but bare walls and ceiling with a thick rug or carpet on the floor will usually be adequate at low to medium listening levels. It also helps a lot if the wall behind the listener scatters the sound. A large bookshelf can do the trick. In general it is better to scatter upper frequency reflections than absorb them. Zimbabwean wooden sculptures at strategic positions can be very effective. Too much low frequency reverberation must be absorbed by sophisticated means. 50 mm of foam directly onto a wall is not effective at absorbing low frequencies. Have fun trying this and that. You don't have destroy the appearance of a room or anger your partner with a spread of commercially available panels. A little creativity and common sense can result in a very pleasant listening environment. [/QUOTE]
