That Nick Drake record is so good…
It’s really a shame he didn’t get more acknowledgment while he was alive. Might have stopped his decline and death. Genius imo.

I rarely come across new bands that I enjoy anymore. Partly because I don’t look as hard as I did when I was younger, and partly because there aren’t as many, but I really enjoy listening to their music. “A Hero’s Death” was one of my favorites of that year.

Not specifically to you.
Figured I would ask in here since I have seen talk about sound panels and people having legit studios in here.
I have a room in my house that I turned into a pool table room/bar. Its a large room around 800+ sqft. Has some high ceilings in the center because the room was previously used by a seamstress to hang gowns/rugs. The sound in there just echoes and bounces around. I have added some furniture and a decent sized rug but its still not ideal.
Do sound panels only work when theyre on the walls or ceilings? Would they have any use under something like the pool table or the bar tables in there? If they can be put in, are there big differences between the qualities available because the prices are all over the place.

If search Darko.Audio he just put out 3 short videos about him new apartment in Lisbon(?) and how he was able to transform the sound in the new room. The third video shows what was done and the results. They compare the clap test before and after.
As to your question, you would have to put sound absorbing/disrupting panels on surfaces (ceiling and walls), not under tables. You have to stop reflected sound waves (first reflections are the key). Furniture and rugs help, and there are other cheaper options that can be added to walls and ceiling, but they probably don't work as well as audio sound treatments. You see them in restaurants; fabric or Styrofoam panels hung from the ceiling and on walls. I'm sure they help some, but most restaurants with them are still loud!

There may be better audio oriented places to ask that. And there are definitely better people to answer than me... but a few general things I'm familiar with.
You probably need to provide more detail about the room specifics especially the high ceiling. Is it vaulted, cutout opening, other shape? Then, on the speaker side, what type are they, where are they in the room and in relation to walls and other boundaries.
One of the basics of sound is you can think of it like a flashlight, with a beam that can be broader depending on the speaker design. The "first reflection point" is usually going to give the most problems, and typically where a sound absorbing panel would need to be placed. The standard trick to identify these is to sit at your listening spot and have someone move a mirror along the wall until you see the speaker in it. If you don't have a main position and it's just echoey all around, that might not help much.

Vaulted ceiling. Maybe 14 ft high or so at the apex. The speaker setup is basic.
Two JBL 530s about 8 feet high. One is in a corner and the other is halfway to the other wall. So maybe 10 feet away. I have a 12 inch Monolith sub on the floor in between them. Nothing is in front of them and theyre basically projecting to the entire room, minus a pool table in the middle.
The room is used for drinking beer and shooting pool. The sound doesnt need to be perfect at all. I am just trying to tone down the echo. I also dont want it to look like a music studio with panels on the wall.
Thank you

Have you or can you try experimenting with placement? Especially the corner one could be driving some of that as you have 2 boundaries reflecting sound there.
Also, 8' high, are they really close to where the ceiling starts? That might be another close boundary. Basically, get them a little further away from walls/ceilings and that will probably help.

Very nice. I’m still waiting for a proper audiophile repress of Workin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet. It has one of my all time favorite tracks by him… It Never Entered My Mind.
Looks like your wait is over!

Lee Ritenour- On the Line
1983- JVC Direct Disk
I’ve been obsessed with these direct to disk pressings. It could be a presidential speeches record, if it were direct to disk I’d scoop it up.
