We are all aware of how an echo works when you yell down a cement path.  We all know what it feels like to hear the bass beat in a song from a block away – without hearing the rest of the song.  Those who are serious about audio will spend a lot of time and energy to make sure that their room has the optimum setup – but is this really at all necessary?  Do you really need to soundproof a house in order to make it worth listening to audio?  A bit of foam here and there is fine, but uprooting the entire room may be a bad idea. http://evolver.fm/2014/04/02/secret-trick-to-improving-home-audio-involves-zero-electronics/
