I've basically finished my first dedicated two channel audio room. What would you change about the acoustic panels in my room? This is what I have to work with currently, until I can buy some better acoustic treatment.

Generally looks good, but it's hard to tell relative positioning in the photos due to the angles involved and parallax. It's most important to have a panel on the side walls at the midpoint between the plane of the speakers and your listening seat. Are the fist side wall panels at that midpoint to minimize first (primary) reflection points?

What I did with the side walls was the mirror trick basically. But I also added another set on the side walls for the second first reflections basically, I'm not sure how else to word that haha.

Do you think you have a problem? Something not sounding right?

Looks like quite a nice dedicated listening room. Have you tried moving your speakers forward and a little more out from the corners? It is difficult to see the scale of the room. Very neat looking room,

BWLover.....Your room needs diffusion, especially the wall behind your listening seat. You should treat that entire wall with panels to scatter the sound.

No no. I've just never had a dedicated room like this, and was just wondering if there is a better way of using the acoustic treatment I've already got.

I have played around with speaker positions. I have them so close to the side walls because I find that the closer they are to each other the narrower the sound stage ends up. I've only got ten feet width wise to work with. And they're close to the front wall to try and get some more bass out of them.

Getting diffusers for the rear wall is definitely on the list, I just can't afford it right now unfortunately. Could I divide up those panels on that wall into a checker board fashion as a poor man's diffuser? Would that be better than the three strips?
