Thank you. I have to work through industry hyperbole, exaggeration, and falsehhods in order to teach people the truth. I spend more time getting caught in the weeds with people before I can get to a clearing.
I just saw a video with a million dollar stereo build, but the room was relatively small and I saw no treatment. How can someone spend a million dollars on equipment while being completely ignorant of room treatment? Likewise, how can someone spend a million dollars on equipment, without being AWARE of the fact that professional recording studios use ROOM TREATMENT 99 times out of 100?
I feel your pain Dennis. 30+ years as a retail repair mechanic and at least once a week someone tells me they know more, because they read it on the interweb. I think the problem is that people are looking for a cheap way to accomplish something expensive. In the end though, "the only one who cons you is yourself.
How much better is a plaster wall from the 1950s over drywall?
Plaster depending on its thickness will absorb at a smoother rate of absorption.
Dennis, in my humble opinion, your wisdom in the physics of acoustic treatment is unmatched.

Indeed so.! !! 😊

In 17 years of doing this, I have seen it all. I just visited a room in LA that had glass walls. The speakers were on glass stands.

In most acoustic "strategies", what costs nothing is worth nothing.
