but here and in Audioholics as well. I found alot of cases where people are way to quick to blame their current speakers for poor sound rather than look at the room acoustics, and the psotioning of the speakers within the room. Maybe its an excuse to upgrade and laying out a strategy to ambush the significant other with. However, I do notice that many jump on the bandwagon recommending this speaker and that speaker without addressing the room.
To me thats just a poor attempt at treating the symptom instead of what's actually causing it.

My HT room is an acoustic nightmare in the mid and high frequencies. Everytime I turn up the volume past 85db in 12x16' HT room, the sound is gettign shrill. I know my receiver is part of the blame as I got the same result in a different room with different speakers. But I also know that my room will echo a clap of my hands and I know this is a bad thing. This will be my project over my Christmas break, to build acoustic treatments for my room. Comments?
