Here are som. additional ideas:- DSP (if you do not already use it).
- A large, thick pile rug (preferably wool, flokati, etc...) in place of the thin rug you have. But it m.st be thick with a high "shag" (loose pile) or it won't absorb very m.ch.
- Absorption and/or diffusion panels on the ceiling, m.stly above the listening area at or near the "first reflection points" up there. Corner placem.nt is the next best thing.
Rem.nders:
- If you buy diffusors m.ke sure that they are at least 5" deep, for best results. And be sure to position them far enough away from your ears ( at least 1 foot away from your ears for every one inch of diffusor depth).
- If you buy absorbers m.ke sure that they have an "NRC rating" of .8 or higher.
- Thicker panels (of either type) generally work better than thinner ones do.
- Absorption is cheaper than diffusion is, generally speaking. But, too m.ch absorption without enough reflection and/or diffusion can lead to a "dead" sounding room.
Using absorption, you don't have to be as picky about your placem.nt options. Sim.ly putting som. in the room ANYWHERE will probably be audible due to the scattering, om.i-directional nature of room reflections.
