I am insulating my attic, so out of curiosity I threw 6 bales of R38 insulation in the corners of my listening room.
Results: WOW!!!!!! 50% improvement in what I was hearing!!!!
I already own 2 Mondo traps and they made a big difference, but what I have now is unreal! The bass is visceral, musical. The Vantage is truly a World Class speaker as all of the reviews have said, but I have never heard it this good before.
According to Ethan, the Mondo traps should perform better than the insulation bales. Anyone considering doing an upgrade, try throwing the bales of insulation in the room. Do A/B testing between the component and the room treatment. Now, I almost feel embarrassed commenting on components without checking if the room is treated.
Thanks to Dan (DTB300), Dave (Twich54), JonFo, and Burke for turning me onto what room treatments can do. This stuff is experiential, so it is hard to imagine what kind of impact it can have. Try it to experience for yourself. You can always return the insulation to Lowes or Home Depot.
