In Reply to: RE: treat the ceiling/wall behind me, or build a portable "partition"? posted by David Aiken on December 4, 2010 at 00:10:26:

One point that I wanted to get across was the fact that this is the first room I will have the opportunity to treat, up to a point ($), without having to worry about appeasing my significant other.

When I am seated, the 5' knee wall is directly behind me about 8' back. The slanted ceiling slants towards me and meets the flat ceiling above my head and back about a foot or so. So the slanted ceiling is pointed downwards toward me. The speakers are obviously in front of me, toed in pretty hard as that position has given the best sound so far.

But I did not have them toed in as hard in my previous room in another house. But I sat further away from the speakers, and the room opened up behind me. I'm not so sure that the current presentation is going to keep me satisfied in the long-term.

I am looking at this as an opportunity to gain some experience in room treatment. With the room being nearly square at the floor, and two opposing slanted ceilings, I think absorption is the way to go. I have some foam bass traps in two corners. Third corner has built-in microwave and mini-frig. The other a computer desk.

Thanks for the input. I will give it another read and digest it a little better when time permits over the weekend.
