When Jerome says use pillows everywhere on the ceiling and walls, HE MEANS IT!

Thanks a lot !

Well, the only thing I can say is that we listen to our speakers AND to our room. When acoustics are bad, treating the room is the only thing to do, and gives more results than any upgrade in gear.

Quote: but when the volume goes up (40%+ on the 6600) everything falls apart

This effect is typically and is applied to all situations, parallel walls are the main cause.

One plus: slap echo treatment is the easy part.. once the room has an standing wave problem under say 100Hz it takes more effort to fix.

apply maximum diffusion, and just enough damping.

damping eats energy, energy is clarity = liveliness.

clarity is a definition in acoustic science.

I am wondering what GIK recommended for the large windows behind your seating area.

Sorry about the delay on pics....it's such a pain uploading them to a photo sharing site with all of the advertising that is required to watch inbetween downloads now.

For our products in front of a window I like to use the Freestand (4") panels.
