Room treatment help needed-Acoustics Forum-Acoustic Fields Forum

Hi all,

I am new here so apologies if this is in the wrong place.

I am currently renting a room and I have very little choice in speaker placement and listening position. The speakers are 5 inch from the wall( although I could increase this by one or two inches) and I am listening while leaning against the back wall. There is about 5m between listener and speaker. Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of boom.

I have no experience in this situation, and would greatly appreciate any help you can give me on how to treat the room – or maybe just putting bungs in the speakers would work best.

plus floor is carpet. Thanks in advance!
