Howdy all,
If you remember, I was planning on moving between apartments with my 4 x 805s, HTM4 and ASW 825. My old apartment had great acoustics - I felt like I was inside of a warm bubble of sound... My new apartment's acoustics are scary - horrible... Harsh and bright highs, boomy and bouncy bass...
Old apartment - small room, wall behind front L&R, wall behind back L&R, wall-to-wall carpeting, low cieling.
New apartment - larger room, wall behind front L&R only (pretty empty space behind back L&R), hardwood floor, high cieling.
The result is that my amazing "sound bubble" is out the window... I think it's because the sound waves are no longer bouncing back and forth between my walls... ops:
Since I'm used to such great sound out of my multichannel music, I'm pretty desperate to do whatever I can to get the sound back. The only way I can get much bang out of my back L&R is if I crank up the volume on them considerably, and they are 4 feet to me, while the front L&R are twice as far!
I know there have been discussions in the past on room treatments - is there something that people have used that really, really worked and was at a reasonable price-point?
I'm going crazy here!
Thanks!
