Default Honky room

No the room has black out curtains. I'm thinking also about the ceiling. The
carpet is a little old now as well.

More work needed I think.


Funny thing is a pair of cheapo Skytronic two speaker units sound better
than more expensive speakers in this room which is interesting.

My bedroom is almost square with one corner with an airing cupboard and
the next one sliced off by the chimney as it runs up from the floor

Short of coating all the walls with old cardboard egg boxes I wondered
if these new miracle speakers from Sonos might help, or is this room
auto compensation stuff just hype as to me it seems that if there is a
resonance you won't stop that no matter how you adjust speaker
frequency response. Brian


Egg boxes never did anything, but if you have a spare duvet - hang
that on a wall. I did a test in my study years ago - a microphone six
feet away, and comparing with and without the duvet.

Yup. Although decent thick curtains may look better.


Curtains work on the highs, but they do nothing for the lows.
