Yes - dealing with room, speaker, listener interactions will drive you crazy - but well work the effort!  You have to be a psycho to do it day in and day out.

Couldn't resist being the first one to post in this forum

Brian,

Just curious, have not heard anything from Glenn on the forums for a while. Is he still around? Where do you fit in with the GIK team?

bpape:
Glenn was in Germany for a while over the holidays.  He's on some of the forums but is so busy it's hard for him to get on all of them all the time - that's a good thing I guess.  We've been doing some new product testing and development so that adds to the load.

I work for Glenn doing consulting for customers who don't know what they want/need in their rooms.  I also work with him on the new product development.

Room acoustics can be so tough.  The thing is once an enthusiast gets to the point where room issues are identifiable, there's already a comfort level around the gear.  Getting into room acoustics is a humbling experience like when you have to ask the difference between a preamp and integrated amp.

It's surely worthwhile and a nice, incremental upgrade path.  Just getting a couple of panels at the first reflection points is a nice starting place and that can be encouraging.  Oooo!  Bass traps!  I'll have to get one.  Hey, that's nice, where can I fit some more?  Next thing you know your room is covered with fiberglass, burlap, and textured foam from one end to the other.

bpape:
Yup.  That's the trick.  Getting the RIGHT amount of the right things in your room.  More isn't always better.  Rooms where you're trying to do 2 channel and multi-channel present even more issues as the design goals are very different.
