Here's my downstairs "man cave" system

Here's my downstairs listening room, which is more or less dedicated to music listening and dancing with my daughter.



And here is a picture taken with a wide lens, which lets you see more but distorts the length of the room.



Speakers are 8 feet apart and 8 feet from the listening position. You can see the subwoofers and the sofa where we listen from. It doesn't appear so in the pic, but the subs are 6 feet from the listening position. The edge of a dart board can be seen in the upper right. There was a white board next to it which had just fallen down and you can see the adhesive on the wall.

The fabric on the walls and ceiling conceals a mix of absorbers, diffusors, and wide band bass trapping. On the left and right sides of the ceiling are sealed Helmholtz resonator type bass traps. There's more of that behind the picture frames on the front wall. The wooden boards up front are designed to be tuned slat resonators but they don't actually do much, behind them are wideband membrane traps. The door behind the right speaker is also designed as a bass trap, to offset the corner trap being deeper on the left than the right. Sadly, I don't have a rear facing shot to show the listening position, rear room treatment, or left wall treatment.
