I'm curious about two things there: What speakers are those? They look like a 10" 2-way, but the lighting doesn't allow much detail. Second, what kind of flooring is that? It doesn't look like tile or concrete. Short-pile carpeting?

Thanks.

The room has wall to wall carpet, with a rug over it. The rug is woven from cotton cloth remnants. It sounds good. This type of rug was recommended by Pierre Sprey who runs Mapleshade. Behind the listening chairs is a wool rug over the pile carpet.

When I took this photo I realized the rug wasn't centered side to side. I centered it (about six inches left) and I swear the sound is better now! More even soundstage. The right channel, which used to be a bit recessed, has come forward.

So responding to this post helped improve my sound! Go figure.

Thanks, Steve

  Thanks for the reply. I thought the flooring looked like a short-pile carpet, but wasn't sure. We, too, have a rug (about 9' x 11') over carpet in our living room, where the stereo system is. Regarding your rug, up in Wisconsin, rugs made from remnants are often called "rag rugs", and are typically much smaller than yours, usually about 30" x 40" or so. My wife has a couple from her grandmother's old farmhouse. Related trivia... Decades ago, in my apartment, I had not a "remnant rug", but a large "sample rug", made by duct taping together the backside of carpet samples (about 20" x 30" each) from a flooring store! Chicks thought it was cool. ;)
