room treatment

[nuck]

Hello everyone.
I have a decent stereo kit, with so-so speakers and I want to treat my room properly before moving to another speaker pair.
The room is terribly difficult and impossible to explain, so I wanted to post a layout, but lack tools easily used to create my personal space.
Can anyone recommend a test or download tool for creating this imagery so I can post it?

Thank-you in advance.

I used visio to draw my layout but you could just draw it on paper and scan it. You can also just use paintbrush to get the basic layout.

Thanks Jermy, I suppose it is time I got another scanner. They are such a pain in the butt, and seldom used.
Visio I will check out, I want to lay this one out for a look see.
I know I need some panels, likely a few, my speakers presently face a bare wall 12' away.
I will try to represent the room.

Thank You

I can give you some advice without even seeing your room layout. If you want to treat the reflection points use a long mirror and have someone move it along the wall while you sit in the normal listening spot. When you can see the woofer and tweeter of the speaker in the mirror you have found where the reflection will hit the wall and an acoustic panel should go there. Also make sure you have carpet or an area rug between where you sit and where the speakers are sitting.

And thanks again, Jermy, I need to find a lightweight panel to move around, the dim's will be 24"x48"x(?) and the material, I do not know. But the material shall be covered in a variety of colour option, for the sake of my decor and my lovely wife.
What material makes up the body of the panel, please?

I have these on my walls: http://www.auralex.com/acoustic_stud...diofoam_2w.asp

They work very well and I'm pretty sure you can wrap them in any material you like. Also to make them look better I think most people in your situation usually frame them to make them easier to hang and easier to attach the fabric to.
