I have recently bought a NAD T778 and Running Dirac has shown me something I have been aware of for a while, My room is a bit of a nightmare for bass, there is huge spike in Bass around 40Hz.

Now Dirac has done a good job here, but i do wonder if adding some room treatment would be helpful here. Does anyone here have any experience of bass traps and Diffusers?

I was thinking of making some DIY bass traps backed up by some diffusers on the wall behind the listening position. I'll probably buy some diffusers as they might be tricky to make and perform well.

We are gearing up to decorate the Lounge and it is a good opportunity.

Thank you all.

I currently am running Qacoustics 2050i/2020i/2090i and a b&w sub.

I am planning to replace the LCR speakers and maybe the sub too, in the next few months,

My room has hard floor with a large rug and plenty of sofas and chairs. It does have a 3.2m window running along the left wall ( looking at the system, although there are blinds and curtains) the room is quite lively, but not a total echo chamber.
