I'm pretty much at the point where I'm very happy w the raw sound from my room, much improved over the harsh, strident, bass thin sound from my old apartment.
I've made some big strides on maxxing subs performance from my Zus, and for the first time Im just taking in my music, and not picking apart my system/presentation.
However I've been assured (by someone who hasn't been within 150 miles of my space) that one unusual aspect of my room must be compromising things, and must be addressed (no hard sell, then LOL).
And that is my ceiling.
So I get the idea of corner bass traps, diffusion on the front wall and at reflection points on side walls.
But the subject of this thread is addressing ceilings.
And especially the phenomenon of sloping eaves, as in my case.
So, my room is a dedicated one in my roof loft space. My room extends to 18' wide, central midline maximum apex height is 9', eaves then sweep down R and L to side walls 4' high.
With the way the structural steels subdivide the eaves, if we take the eaves purely from above my listening chair to above my spkrs, in effect I have two zones of 8'x6', and one of 8'x2', of course doubled up for R & L.
So, choices could be:
Leave well alone, maybe angled eaves are a boon despite advice to the contrary.
Fill as much of exposed eaves as possible w diffusers.
That would mean 56 diffusers if sized 2' square.
Maybe half this number leaving 8'x2' strips of eaves untreated.
Maybe just diffusers above my listening position.
I'm genuinely unsure where to go here, I can find copious info online on bass traps, reflection points, but not much on ceilings, and even less on descending eaves scenarios.
