The only space I was able to claim for myself in my house was this little 6' X 10' "niche". Well, it was this or the garage, so needless to say... Because of the space limitations I decided I could not move forward without working on some sound acoustic treatment, specially to address 'clap' echo and reflection. I was not concerned with bass as I purposely selected a monitor based speaker with a lot of character but not significant bass - the room helps amplify the low frequency in a more controlled fashion without becoming chaotic - the acoustic treatment brings a delay in the room natural resonance.
I listen to a great variety of music, but fundamentally jazz and 70's progressive rock. The system combination has proven to provide an almost magical experience - very intimate and with a lot of liquidity.
The decoration was a conceived with the whole system set up, my wife and my sister were the ones who designed the room, taking my functional requirements.
Skuras - quality of the Rogue amp is good, but have not being able to compare in extensive detail with smilar products. However, the quality service is excellent from both the retailer Audio Connection (John Ruttan) and Rogue Audio (Mark O'Brien).
Thanks so much for your all your feedbacks and comments! I'm glad to see there are others that feel the same way I do.
I know vinyl is next step, but a heck of a big one - its a shame specially since I lost my collection of Mobile Fidelity LP's of Steely Dan and Supertramp and others.
The foam is Auralex, and it works great - very inexpensive alternative compared to Echo Busters and the like.
