Is some kind of sound treatment better than nothing , for a small room? I know a small room is not the best for a music listening room but is some kind of treatment better than nothing at all?

Hi Elchamaco, It depends on usage. If the usage and the size and volume are not matched together, you could be wasting time and money. You must have a room size and volume that matches usage to a certain degree for treatment to be effective. This pertains to energy below 100 Hz. Energy above 100 Hz. contributes to high Rt-60 times which would be managed by the application of sound absorbing materials.
