Mornin' John,

The two items that put me in the doghouse were the throw rug from our bathroom that I draped down from the fireplace mantle and was held up with bricks! And the dining room chairs that were on the back of the couch(covered with towels)to add an accoustic boundary above the couch to try to mask the big open space behind it and make the room seem a little more symetrical to the speakers.

The beach towels push-pinned to the rear wall added a touch of class. But the M50s sticking about seven inches out of their(Ouch!)enclosures was thought by the wife to be a bit dangerous if one fell out onto one of the grandkids!(The speakers are elivated about 14" from the floor and sound better if I stand up while listening!)

There were more pillows, rugs, and some reflective items for balance, but those were the Highlights!

The mask is a good idea, but I wouldn't be able to get it away from the kids long enough to do any real good on WAF!!

No question-this really IS a fun hobby!!
Rich.

Wow... you're getting serious about this audio stuff aren't you. Way to go !!

I guess having the kids running around wearing absorbent headgear would do a pretty good job although the imaging would be a bit inconsistent.

The only problem was, I had to put the house back into order once my test was completed!

That, or look thru a list of lawyers in the phone book that is longer than the list of resturants!!

But at least I have somewhat of an idea of where to begin!!(with the house, that is, not the list!)

OK, let's see now...if I put...
