Does anyone have any suggestions for room sound conditioning and 
treatments (especially for those of us on a budget) that you have seen, heard 
or read about and feel would/could be of help?
        This can include tweaks such as surrounding your tweeters/mids with 
felt tack-glued to the front loudspeaker surface......etc.
        Some that have appeared in the Echo in the past and have been helpful 
   are:    
        * Use a mirror to place on the wall, floor or ceiling between you in  
        your listening position and you speaker drivers to determine where    
      your first reflection will be and where treatments would do the most
         good.
        * Place your subwoofer in your listening position and move around the 
         room, placing your head down near the floor until you find the place
         where you get optimum bass. Then place the subwoofer there.
        * Ugly, but inexpensive 1 to 2 inch foam rubber strips can be placed
         across the face of an unlit fireplace or to reduced wall reflections
         from the rear of stereo systems. Tube trap for $300 or roll up a 1
         inch by 48" foam rubber strip, for a boomy corner.
        *(mine)... Heavy home made quilts hanging from oak quilt racks are    
      great for sound treatments on the side and rear walls and have a
         good appeal for the "wife factor". Especially if you can get your
         wife to make them, and not really say they are sound treatment. So
         you then have both sound treatment and are "showing everyone how
         proud you are of your wife". (What a guy!)
Any and all would be appreciated!
