Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Clap test

OUCH. I just did the clap test in my room and got a depressingly long decay.

I "thought" I had enough damping the room (2 seater and 3 seater sofas') lot of books and 2 rugs but obviously not enough.

(Moves to remove diffusers from the walls)

Not surprisingly, rooms really do make up a lot of the experience. I have the most expensive equipment I've ever owned in my room but I am "convinced" I have heard better from cheaper, less powerful kit in the same room.

I've gone from 60 watts into 40ltr 89dB sensitive speakers to 500w into 180ltr 96dB sensitivity speakers but appear to be "missing" something.
