Hmm, apparently I don't know how to link to pics very well.  I'm using photobucket and used the image button (inserting the URL between the two img codes).   What am I missing?

I clicked Reply to see the IMG code and links you used, and you did it correctly. No idea why the forum isn't displaying it.

Where are the best places for diffusion?

Usually on the rear wall behind you. Also, wood on the floor is fine, but you'll want throw rugs at the loudspeaker reflection points.

Thanks to all for the responses.

I thought I'd add some pics of the room.   I am considering removing the carpet - or perhaps the front 1/3 of the room (and replace with hardwood).  As an experiment I laid down pieces of plywood in the front of the room (up to where the speakers are placed) and it helped the high frequencies, but not necessarily the upper mids.   I also tried removing my screen and I think it helped some (I only had a limited window of time to do audition this, so I'm not certain).

Here are some pics to give a sense of the room.

From the listening position:

Close up of the funky alcove where my equipment rack is:


Here's the experiment with plywood etc on floor and screen removed:


Note that in these pics most of the ASC wall planks have been removed.   I'm thinking of adding diffusors to give a bigger sense of space and liven it up.   Where are the best places for diffusion?

Thanks again,
Ian

I did one and it works.  Right click to get the image location for all of them.  I'd do it for you but the pictures are not captioned....
