In Reply to: When is it time to spend on the room? posted by Howie on January 6, 2004 at 17:39:24:
The problem with room treatment is that when you move and the new room is different, it also will need different treatment.One possibility to overcome this is to buy speakers which have little interaction with the room. This means that the overall sound won't change much when moving from one room to another. Speakers with high directivity throw less energy into the room off-axis, so that reflections and reverberation are no longer a major issue. Room modes may always pose some problems but strategic placement (hence no costs involved) of speakers and listening chair helps.
This said I did apply only RT60 treatment (special ceiling) to my room in order to lower reverberation time. You can do this by using special devices or by simply using furniture and/or decoration/draping. I then placed the speakers on the longer room wall, so no side wall reflections. The high directivity "treats" reflections from floor and ceiling. The one room mode I've detected so far can be eliminated by moving the head 4 inches forward.
