Hi Bart.
Considering how much we have/are spending on our systems I personally think also that this isn’t bad to make a system perform to its best in the room it is in. Once I get my gear back from Naim ( CD555/ 500), I will look at the bank balance and also ensure, that the active absorbers can be shipped back to Germany, where the nearest distributer is at present. This should they turn out to not perform as promised ( however having looked at the stats and the talks I do not believe they will disappoint tbh). I think I’m realistically facing 4 weeks without music, but will endeavour to bring this back up again. As the interest in room acoustic matters seem overwhelming, I am sure this Forum is gagging to know more.
Maybe you and I are the only ones here experiencing modal problems in our rooms ( taking aside Huge/ Innocent bystander whose input I am very grateful for on a previous thread). From a purely scientific point of view this is a somewhat surprising finding ???? and you almost wonder if people have actually been helped by divine intervention.
Anyhow I would prefer not to look at bass traps, if I can avoid it even in a dedicated listening room, and also I want to be able to play ALL my cds and not having to go ; “ Yeah sorry, this particular recording has got a lot of bass on it”.
