Michael,
I have been in several basement listening rooms this year that have had a drop in ceiling height between the speakers and the listening space.
The untreated drop (12" or 16") is for forced air ductwork, and in both rooms, it is parallel to the front face of the speakers and encased in drywall.
Have you ever encountered such a listening space? if so what would you recommend for treatment of this area, if anything?
Both rooms seemed to have a lack of focus, for lack of a better term, and in both the farther back in the room the better it sounded.
Others' experience and input would also be appreciated.
Happy Holidays and may all your listening be in a well-treated room.
