Glen,
nice job. Not so sure about the DIY bass traps though. If you are interested, I have an unopened pack of Rockwell acoustic insulation you can have. It contains 4 1200mmx600mm blocks, ideal for 4 sizable acoustic panels. I bought two packs but found I only needed one pack for my listening room.
Not sure where you are in South Yorks but you are probably not too far from me. PM me if you are interested.

Very nice Glenn, I wondered how you were getting along, how are you finding it acoustically?
Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

But I really like your funky white equipment rack (the one between your speakers, not the Kallax). Exactly what I could do with, where did you get it if you don't mind my asking?
Really nice listening space btw. Done a good job there

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

First off, thank you all for your nice comments, it’s much appreciated! For the above quote, thank you Geoff, that’s a really nice gesture. I am in the process of making some bass traps as I have two packs of insulation left over. I was just waiting for the burlap material to arrive, which it did yesterday. Nevertheless, I appreciate the offer.

It’s ok actually. Better than I thought it would be. It needs work though. There is still pretty bad flutter echo and I need to spend time placing the speakers correctly. I plonked them using the Cardas calculator and haven’t bothered to move then since. Bass needs a little more body for me, but I’ll wait until I’ve built the bass traps. Then I can build the first reflection point absorbers. I’ll probably add a skyline diffuser at the back to complete the treatment if I can be bothered!

The rack is the one I’ve nicked from under the wife’s telly! It’s from Ikea as well, can be found here It’s called BESTÅ. There’s an additional glass top you can buy for it I believe. Here it is..But I really like your funky white equipment rack (the one between your speakers, not the Kallax). Exactly what I could do with, where did you get it if you don't mind my asking?
