AaronB123 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 You might try to lay some blankets around where you think the best spot for the rugs might be. It would be much cheaper than buying rugs to experiment. That's actually a really good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The guy on AVS who makes the demo discs has tile in his theater. Can't find a pic of it, always made me cringe when I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I do currently I have the Velodyne CT-150 paired with it. Later on down the line I may upgrade to the Klipsch R-115SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Put the blanket under and in front of the speaker. This will help with floor bounce. When it comes to treating rooms, find a happy compromise. I certainly am not going to put bass traps, absorbers and difussers in my family room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say floor bounce do you mean the way the speakers wobble when on a tile floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) When you say floor bounce do you mean the way the speakers wobble when on a tile floor? Pretty sure he's just talking about sound bouncing off the floor. Edited April 21, 2016 by MetropolisLakeOutfitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 NO, floor bounce is the soundwaves bouncing off the floor which is a room reflection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loudly Does It Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 On April 20, 2016 at 2:48 PM, AaronB123 said: I have to be honest I really don't believe I know enough to get into the manual mode and change things around. I really would have no idea what I was doing and might end up doing more harm than good. One thing that I do when letting the avr do it's auto calibration which is a little trick I learned on AVSforum is tape the mic to my forehead so it's really right in the sweet spot of the listening area instead of putting it on the headrest of the couch where it states you should put it in the manual. Is that a bad idea? Of course, I don't cover the mic with tape or anything like that. You're not going to screw it up and if you do you can reset it and start over. Here's a good place to start. It gives you step by step instructions for MCACC. http://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-receivers-amps-processors/1112470-official-pioneer-mcacc-thread.html Don't tape it to your forehead. I took a furring strip, made an "L" with it and tape the microphone to the horizontal portion at ear level and wrap the vertical part with a towel and wedge it between the sections of my sectional. I have a tiled room where I have my set up too. You won't be able to eliminate it all, but you can do a lot and get decent sound. I have an area rug but because of the way the room is set up the area to walk through is where the first reflection point hits the tile. I have panels catching the rear reflections and side ones and that gave me a noticeable improvement. Helped with clarity and a lot of the background detail. I just put some small round felt pads from Home Depot, under the RC-7 center channel since it's on a mahogany table and under the RF-5 towers and it didn't improve audio clarity but I'm hearing a lot more detail. I watched parts of the second and third Transformers movies and I was hearing details I never heard before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Ask question if you need help. I have been using manual mode for years and know it well. Others here can also help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 i realize this is an old thread....floors often have carpet and when they do...ceiling treatment is usually minimal or none if the floor is hard then treating the ceiling is key. many recording studios have hard floors and ceiling panels.
