Well, yes I wish I could have skipped to a custom room, about 25 yrs ago :-) Always wanted an acoustically designed dedicated audio room, but what with raising kids, WAF, yada yada yada, never quite got round to it till recently. And in no small part because WAF became ex-WAF. My previous DIY treatments with additionally added commercial products actually resulted in drastic improvements, and I was quite happy with the room acoustics. Far, far better than no treatments. I somewhat went with the "deader is better" approach, but not to an extreme degree, didn't like recording studio quiet, preferred a just this side of live sound. Pecunia was the fundamental rate limiting factor, and reason for not skipping straight to a designed room. That and there are not a whole lot of people out there doing commercial room designs. My current room was designed by Rives Audio and built by a local const. co. under Rives direction. It's quite good, and yes, far better than my previous efforts to treat my rooms in the past. But it was also significantly more costly. Capitol S. But one can treat an already existing room for a reasonable price and attain outstanding results, which IMO is a great bang for the buck and possibly more cost effective than certain equipment upgrades.
