In a room your size you are having upper frequency problems without treatment, but what is even more damaging is the low end. The products you listed will not tame them. To get up to speed on how low end reacts in a room and how to treat it, see the following. Bass Traps and Understanding Low...

That is easy.. Making sure you have the listening and speakers placed in the best part of the room (free) AND treat the room. Educational Videos - Acoustic Panels | Bass Traps | Diffusors | GIK Acoustics Articles - Acoustic Panels | Bass Traps | Diffusors | GIK Acoustics

+1 to the above. You will have nulls and peaks throughout the responds due to the room itself. If you try to EQ a upper frequency like that, you would only need to move your head 1 inch for everything to change. Basically a room frequency response will change as you move your head. Better to...

Behind the speaker is fine. You are trying to control boundary reflections off the front wall. For the early reflection points those would be on the left, right wall and the ceiling. See the following on how to find those spots. Video Early or First Reflection Points - GIK Acoustics Great to...

I can answer that here. Around a year ago we did a total redesign of the 244 and Monster Traps and we now have a patent pending on the design. Basically we are able to make it lighter/a bit thinner and it actually performs better. It is called Flexrange. I hope you notice that it looks a lot...

Hello Goliath, First thanks for the purchase. :cool: I would highly recommend you contact us so we can help you with placement. The following page will give us all the info we need to help you. Please try to include pictures if at all possible. Acoustical Room Advice - GIK Acoustics

Things like foam is not going to stop all that much if any sound. It takes thick mass (think concrete) to do this.

I can agree with that. ;)

I agree with the others about panels behind where you sit. Make sure though they are THICK! There is a lot of low end coming off that back wall. Also don't discount treating other areas of the room. Bass traps in as many corners as possible and panels for the early reflection points. The Basics...

Agreed.. Make sure the tweeter is at ear height. Generally I do not like to tilt the speakers.

Having a open area can actually be a good and bad thing. It is good as it is not letting any early reflection hit you, but bad if the other side has a reflection which will mess up imaging. The cure is to put absorption (that word you did not what to hear :D:D) on the wall with the reflection...

There is no easy fix to your problem and to be honest you would need to build a new ceiling that would make it pretty low. As far as treatment there really is not much you can do if the wife is not going to let you put up some treatment. Is there a reason she is against panels on wall? If so...

:D:D:p NICE!

And if anyone needs to know, Jeff worked for one of the largest acoustic companies that made most of there products from foam. So if anyone would know the ins and outs it would be Jeff!! Glenn

Count me in on that one!!!!!!!!

Kiwi, Glad I could be of help. For ceiling itself any kind of hanging plant hook will work, but see if you can find these at your local hardware store. http://www.ooks.com/p-394-white-versahook.aspx

If it gives you any comfort we have treated 1000s of rooms that size with great results. The key is to bass trap the heck out of it and focus thick panels in areas that help control strong low end nulls and peaks coming off the walls. Generally that is the back wall.

I could not imagine trying to treat a dome shape. Did you pretty much just make it dead or rebuild the walls and ceiling? Glenn Kuras

Normal heavy drapes if covering all the walls will absorb only the high end so the room will seem "dead" but muddy/boomy. If you want to use drapes for looks then look into maybe using something that is acoustically transparent like Guilford of Maine. You can find it on our website, but you...

If your sitting on the couch it would be the side wall to right. They would go in the early reflection point. See the following to understand early reflection points. http://www.gikacoustics.com/news_020209.html I would also put panels on the front wall behind each speaker and one panel...
