wooferocau Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Finally fished my panels for the roof section. Panels are 900x800 and 12mm thick acoustic , i had these flock coated matt black. These protrude 2.25mtrs from the back wall minimizing reflections on the roof section. This has made a huge difference to contrast and colour. Also added a pair of Energy speakers to the side surrounds and configured it as a 7.2 system. Currently using the JVC DLA X7000 , but have a "NEW" JVC arriving next week... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaynin Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Yep, one of the best going around, no doubt...but...err...I gotsa say it...that couch doesnt appear to fit the calibre of the room. Now you need a fully reclining Italian leather 3 seater with drink cooler... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Nice work woofer ... Be working nicely for gains in picture and the side surrounds adding well for surround experience ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooferocau Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Slight mod.. Blacked out the entire "Front" Ceiling section. Added Black carpet to the lower front section... Much Much better, almost no extraneous reflections now. The difference this has made to Contrast and Colour is dramatic. You dont realise just how much of your projected image is being effected by bright walls,ceiling/floor until you "Black Out". Cant wait to get the X9500 set up. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 @wooferocau great work ps I would have gone a step further though...where your black carpet extends out to...I would have blacked out the side walls from there going up to ceiling. noticeable in the last photo posted but depends kind of visual look impact going for as well I suppose ps the other one to look out for is the wall right behind your listening position as it tends to reflect back onto the screen. way to check this is with a fade to black. pause and then using a little pen torch trace light on the back wall and see how much it impacts with reflecting back on the screen. can be quite telling. and in your dedicated room obviously will have the latitude to do things about 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blybo Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Well done @wooferocau . Using a similar thought process to my room in making a "stage" area in black to minimise reflections. The rest of my room is a strong latte colour and dark grey curtains. Each further step I did in painting/adding black carpet etc made very noticeable improvements. I was painting my room in stages after kids went to bed each night whilst the room was still operational so we'd take a night off after each new section was done to note the difference, and it was SUBSTANTIAL each step of the way. Now I can't see someone 2 feet away with full sun outside despite 3 windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 good point on the black carpet. we too had the same looking light coloured carpet woofer that you have. we found quite a difference replacing with a charcoal carpet made even in my very non dedicated room setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren69 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Incredible, I love it all. Yes I would like to try having the shelving and components off to the side but the cable prices bugger me up. Edited May 18, 2017 by Darren69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backrest/headrest can reflect the treble back into your ears and can make the music sound more trebley and harsh than otherwise. Thick fabric couch is better, ideally with no headrest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. You can always put a big blanket over the lounge and see how that goes.Ive got a leather lounge, so I'll try that later. How good are the Sov's. Such a great loudspeaker when driven right. Edited May 22, 2017 by Wimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, but covering your Italian leather lounges with aunty's tartan blanket may detract from the chic aspect somewhat I know, I have a pair of Sovereigns as well, driven by ME 1400 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added " 2" Telos QNR,s Added a Telos GNR Added a Phillips "Air Purifier" ....does a terific job of minimising dust particles in the air. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
