I'll have two of whatever it is that guy is having ;D

I chuckled at first as well; then over time, the theories have revealed themselves, slowly, through comments made in other threads, and, in part, by other people.
One of the most logical arguments that I've read is that the birdhouses act as the part of resonators, with the frequency dependent on the size of the box and port (bird entrance hole).
I don't know ::shrugs::, and I do not know enough to say anything one way or the other.

One thing I do know, is that every time that I've brought up room treatments for my space, I meet up with the my living room, and, you owe me a bigger house before you even think in that direction; then you can do anything that you want in your listening room.

So around my house, sound treatments amount to a fat negative WAF rating.
She did make some wall-hanging tapestries, which I guided her to mount behind the couch on the backwall (my listening spot).

i think my wife digs all this (other than the expense of it all) but wont admit it, so the WAF is usually able to be obtained with comprimise.

......and the occasional "fuck it ill do what i please". ;D  it is the MAN cave after all.

She seems to be OK with some of the floor to ceiling wall panels.

Man Cave?
Its in the living room, in a small house. My footprint there is massive enough without pushing the limits.
My fuck it and I'll do as I please credits have been long ago used with mics/pres and recorder purchaces; speaking of which, i still need to replace my R09 - see where I'm going??.

Mike, my living + listening room situation is similar.  Perhaps you can leverage Jim's seal of approval to assuage sarge's concerns. If you ever find yourself with a dedicated 'Man Cave' for music listening you can then apply for one of these.

If I had that much money I'd at least have a comfortable listening chair :P

HAHA!  i thought that too, but it is in europe after all....


i ordered 12 more 2x24x48 panels of OC705 & 6 of the 703 yesterday.  i plan to make 6 x 4" broadband bass traps, plus fill in the corners with triangles and make a solid back wall and ceiling treatments. 

and FYI, a local suppler can get the panels at half of what the best prices i saw online, and no shipping fees.  it was such a bargain i had to do it.
