I've always believed that room acoustics is the main contributor to the overall sonic experience one has over its audio room.
After a few experiences with my setup in my room (where I basically tested and measured my speakers at any place available) and a listening session a few days later of the same setup over a studio, I concluded that, even though I was quite happy with my system's performance, to improve it significantly, I had to go other way than upgrading my equipment.
I contacted an audio designer and acoustic consultant (www.audiodesigner.eu). He has been involved in many important projects and I was eager ho hear his opinion. He came by and measured my room's acoustics. We talked a bit about my possibilities (it is a living room, so no 'studio like' work is possible) and decided what to do. We went for a Helmholtz ressonator at the systems wall.
It took a few days for him to define the project and one day (from 09h up to 23h) to build it.
The results are simply amazing and I can't put it into words the differences I hear now. My bass's performance is so much more resolved and detailed, unveiling details at the mid's and highs I never knew were there. I can clearly follow all the notes of the bass guitar with fast decay that enables the overall experience to be much more engaging. Drums are... oh dear... 8)
The WAF is quite good too (at least mine) who loved the overall looks, so, points gained ther also
.
Here are some pictures of all the work involved and the final result. If you can do something like this, please do. You will not regret it!
