Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: 3 foot tall presentation




I finally decided to have wood plantation shutters installed in the family room to cover the arched windows on the front wall. The most obvious change I hear is the sound field is now as high as the speakers whereas before it was below the arched windows. The angle of the picture doesn't show it, but both the tweeter and midrange speakers are above the bottom of the windows. I’m using side wall absorber panels to control first reflections and bass traps tighten bass. I’m leaving a very slight opening in the shutters which are probably also acting as some sort of acoustic panel. High frequencies sound smoother and both the top and midrange sound fuller and better articulated since the shutters were installed. Apparently some of the midrange and tweeter output was being lost through the uncovered arched windows. While my listening room is by far the weakest link in my audio system, careful attention to electrical conditioning, vibration control, system setup, and room acoustics, has significantly improved system playback.
