In Reply to: RE: First Your "Total nonsense" to Satie, now your "ficus tree discussions" comment. posted by JBen on April 02, 2015 at 13:44:45
JBen,
IMO Davey's comment about the ficus was not off-base. I refrained from commenting on that post but I can assure you that the presence of a ficus (real or fake) will have no effect on the room acoustics. The "ficus effect" is an urban myth. I did not read all the comments in the thread but unfortunately the OP got bad advice and bought a 2nd ficus. Davey also did not post because I guess he felt like I did that the subject was trivial. Perhaps the OP should have posted on the Tweaks forum where this kind of thing is more acceptable.
As far as his reply to Satie, I agree it was a bit blunt but he was correct and IMO Satie should not take offense as Davey said nothing negative about him. He only disagreed with his statement. I have to say that both Satie and Davey are valuable contributors to this forum and while Davey could have been gentler in his response, the facts remain regardless how they are expressed.
I don't think Davey will change his style and if you don't like his comments, just skip over them. I suspect to some extent that's what Satie does.
BTW before I get flak about the ficus, here is a picture of my room.

They look better than the bass traps they conceal. They also hide some of the actual diffusors. I bought them to improve the room, but not from the standpoint of acoustics. I'm perfectly satisfied with the artificial plants - as decorative devices.
Dave is a no BS kind of guy. I respect that. There's nothing I'd rather know than the truth, but we're all irrational in more ways than we'd like to admit (I obviously include myself).
By the way, my cables are routed across cheap insulators that I spray painted. It satisfies an anal-retentive desire for neatness, as well as discouraging careless walking in that area of the room.
Yes, if you look closely you can see some absorbers (DIY with Roxul 60 and burlap on wood frames) behind the pseudo-plants. I would have put real plants in the room but with my horticultural talents, I would have a lot of leafless twigs in pots within a very short time.
