Hi all,
I would be interesting in hearing about experiences with acoustic panels or other room treatments.
I am about to put a large pair of speakers in a small, lightly furnished room and have a few nagging doubts on how successful its going to be (my house is being renovated so I can only speculate at the moment).
The room is 2.5m x 3.5m (upstairs), it is going to have some lightweight curtains, a carpet and a fabric sofa in it. It is a modern house so has 'dot and dab' walls.
The speakers are likely to be KEF R500s.
My brother suggested that I might need to get a rug on the rear wall to dampening the room a little. This suggestion got me thinking about acoustic panels. They are cheaper than a nice rug and I would guess more effective?
Has anyone else tried anything like this? If so how did you get on and how did you decided about panel placement?
Thanks in advance of any thoughts.
