  Just cemented in the chimney and boarded up the windows. Shag carpet will be here next week.

  LOL, We are looking at buying a new house. &nbsp;My wife doesn&apos;t know it, but every home we look at I mentally picture where my stereo setup would go....Is that bad?

  I hate covering up the only window in my studio, I did it for a long time. I felt like I was in solitary confinement 😂 so came to the conclusion that it was more enjoyable to be in my studio for hours when I can get a break and take a look outside see the trees, plants birds etc... it doesn’t feel like I’m closed up in a box and I get more creative writing music. So I decided to get me a $600 pair of head phones to get the room out the way when mixing, I switch between my speakers 🔊and headphones 🎧 all the time and my room feels alive.

  Well stated and true. But again, if you don&apos;t have a dedicated room but instead are using an L shaped living room with picture windows --- no luck. It&apos;d be useful to have a video on how to deal with rooms that are far from perfect, since that&apos;s what many of us are dealing with.

  Wish I could afford to fix my theater room like Dennis recommends. &nbsp;He knows his shit. &nbsp;I have used his advice to make my room much better, especially by elevating my two subs at different heights. &nbsp;It replaced that boomy sound smearing with tight impactfull bass. &nbsp;It cleaned up dialogue as a result. &nbsp;You will not find anyone on YouTube that gives you better advice. &nbsp;Thank you Dennis.

  After watching this, I&apos;ve come to the conclusion that I&apos;d be better off setting my stereo up in a train station than the room it&apos;s in. I&apos;m sad now.

  This guy is like a stern professor. I was thinking “yes, sir” the entire time.

  This is what I learned and how I made my at best average Philips HTR5000 sound actually unbelievably good (TL;DR):<br>1. Equilateral triangle is god<br>2. Tweeters at ear level (I use only 2 satellites, in stereo)<br>3. Speakers must face you (toed in so that you can only see their fron when looking directly at them)<br><br>Suddenly my &quot;setup&quot; had real soundstage, separation and imaging. Physics is great.<br><br>As far as room treatment goes the less echo the better. If you have echo in your room, treatment is the only solution. Echo means reflections. Reflections can lead to all sorts of disasters. Sound is a wave, waves reflect off of surfaces. Obvious, I know.
