Room treatment is one of those things that I occasionally think about, and even consider doing, but never actually do.
I would definitely have to go the DIY route (the commercial products are way too expensive), but I really don't know enough about it.

bpape, Savant, avaserfi or WmAx

Thanks Greg! I'll try getting in touch with them.

Making them is cheap and simple. If you treat the first two reflection points you will get a pretty good improvement.

Sounds good. If I only knew how.

Where I come from, people take care of things on there own. How would you like me to drop my avatar on you? Or maybe you'll end up inside one at the bottom of the river. LOL

Wow, that sounds like a threat, Mazer! You might be looking at civil and criminal charges now!

I have zero DYI ability but even I can do this. All you need is some OC 705 or 8# mineral board, some fabric that you can easily breath through, spray glue and either some 1'' x 2'' wood or buy the Ready Acoustic frames for 34 bucks each. I used mineral board which was $34 for 6- 2'x 4' panels, we found some very nice fabric that was 75% off and the glue was $6. I have ordered the frames and they should be here on Saturday. All you do with these frames is lay down the material, put the mineral board on top, pull the fabric tight, place the frames around everything and screw in 8 screws.

WOW GREG! You make it sound so easy. Do you have a diagram or an instructional video?

Actually my lawyer, whose name is Fat Tony, suggested that one of those subwoofers just might be suitable compensation for my grevious loss of excluvise avatar use. Tony also mentioned that he'd like the other one for himself .

You need a picture of me tugging on some fabric to make it tight and screwing in 8 screws?

Here is a tutorial on framing with the RC frames.

Here is Andrew building is own frames.

Note that Andrew's frames go on the inside of the material and RC frames go on the outside. Before I ordered the frames I just wrapped the material around the panels and used safety pins to hold it in place so I could test them out and see if it was worth dumping more money into it.

I'll check that out, Greg. Thanks.

For comparison sake, I will give you this. When I added a thousand and what ever dollar external amp the SQ may have improved by 1% or maybe no improvement except at very high volumes. When I added the $10 panels the SQ improved by 10 or 15%.

The % is just guesses but you get what I mean...

Well let me tell you about My Cousin Vinny

Uncle Tony mentioned he had a cousin Vinny in Florida. He's done some work for him before. So we might be cousins too ? Why didn't you say this before? Small world huh .

Mazer always finds the coolest pics.

Don't try posting a pic of Fat Tony. He's protected. Fox will have their lawyers on you real quick.
