Hi all,

As usual, I did this project -backwards, as I didn't have the means to do any measurements before starting. But, I had a few days off work and I wanted to use it building DIY room treatments-- just some basics to tighten up the bass and catch the reflections bouncing of a window behind my listening spot on the sofa.

On the rear wall I covered the window with a large panel of 4-inch Rockwool 60, and two smaller 2-inch Rockwool 60 panels on either side. A Carver Audio banner serves as the fabric cover on the window panel. On the front wall, I've added floor-to-ceiling corner traps with 6-inch Rockwool 60. One of the corner traps had to wrap around a bar shelf but I made it work. I also made a movable pedestal panel with 2-inch Rockwool 60.

I didn't do a lot of research before starting this project, so anticipate some change may be needed. I can already hear some improvements but I will wait until I have it dialed in to post my impressions. Hopefully, within the next couple of weeks, I will get REW connected, learn how to use it, and finally get my system dialed in.
