There was a bigger difference between pre and post acoustical treatment, than there was in the speaker upgrade from the M&K's to the B&W's. It's really quite amazing.
Even though the room may be dimensionally correct, there are 2 sets of parallel walls without anything to break it up. The result was that the room was excessivly live, and sound would reflect around like crazy. This destroyed the sound stage, and negativly affected the room response (especially with bass frequencies).
On my laptop, I had taken some response curves of the room before and after (and also used it to position my subs where they are now). Unfortunatly, the HDD died days later, and I had no backup.
I was extremely unhappy when I first brought my B&W speakers home... After the $500 bucks in acoustical treatment that I applied (haphazardly) around the room, it's a joy.
