RE: Another floor question

Posted by Terry on June 12, 2017 at 06:25:14:
Thanks for the advice.

This room is quite heavily treated, particularly the ceiling which is quite dead. I put a few sheets of plywood on the floor in front of the speakers and was really surprised (shocked, really) on the tremendous improvement in midrange clarity and the bass. I thought the top end would get a little hot but, if anything, it is actually smoother and less fatiguing. It is now clear to me that I had overdamped the room and that removing the carpet is the way to proceed. Nevertheless, I do expect to use an area rug or two.
