In Reply to: Nevermind the bass traps 200 and 320hz are the problem spots posted by Scholl on December 29, 2004 at 14:04:11:
I think you'll find that some trapping (absorption) will help more than anything. As you're aware, there are many ways to do this.To experiment at no $$ risk, you could try the super quick and dirty version of a tube trap - buy as many rolls of fiberglass insulation as you can fit in your front corners, and stack them there in their bags (you may even choose to put another bag over them to make sure they don't leak and fibers). You should hear a distinct improvement across the board, and your suck outs should lessen. You can return the rolls for refund when you're done as the bags will still be sealed.
One of the reasons absorption makes improvements to a room that may measure flat is that a flat response does not indicate how much room-induced sustain any single sonic event may encounter. This sustain can mask a lot of detail. It's very good for a room to be flat, but it's even better for the room's decay to behave nicely.
Also note that you may be able to even things out with some coupling/isolation techniques, particularly with the speakers. If they're not spiked to the concrete already, try doing that. If they are spiked, try isolating them from the floor. There are a million ways you can affect the sound of your system with these techniques, but you just have to play around with them to find the sound you like best.
