Hello,
I am hoping that those of you with knowledge of room treatment could spare some advice.
I am setting up a system in the room shown in the diagrams below.
ROOM
The room is not large being 470cm L x 340cm W x 330cm H.
It has a brick wall on the left, front, and back, and a plaster wall on the right (backed by tiles on the other side - bathroom).
The ceiling is plaster and above there is the roof cavity.
The floor is suspended timber boards, probably about 50cm over the ground. It has a rug on it.
The front wall has a fireplace with a massive mirror mounted on top of it.
Behind the listening position I have a shelf full of records, and in the corner an Ikea kallax with my gear on it.
SYSTEM
Genelecs 8341 crossed at 70Hz to two KEF KC62 subs
MiniDSP SHD with Dirac live
As you can see I get a fair bit of comb effect. I attach the REW sweeps with the system equalized as best as I could, and smoothed at 1/24.
I have no major complaints subjectively, except that I am struggling to get a nicely stable center phantom image. Mind you this could be due to the fact that currently, the right wall is more reflective than the left (is covered in frames with glass), but this is going to change soon.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
This is a room that I share with family, so it has to remain fairly pretty.
Budget not much. I found these pretty cheap and decent-looking panels. I was thinking of perhaps taking care of the ER points on the side walls with absorbing/skyline panels. The ceiling is high at 330cm and the floor is covered with a rug.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance
