As a rule, dipolar and bipolar speakers will do best with diffusion behind them. Absorbing the back wave defeats the purpose of having the omnipolar radiation pattern. Somtimes absorption in the middle (between the area behind the speakers) can enhance stereo imaging, but diffusion should be the main treatment behind the speakers. RPG Skylines, RPG Flatfusors, ASC Tube traps (diffusion side out), would all work well for your application. Diffusion is usually the best way to go for behind your listening position also - but it depends on how far away from the wall you are.
Absorbtion or diffusion??
Hello out there!
Just wondering what anyone's experiance has been regarding room treatment, using DIPOLAR loudspeakers, for both the wall behind the speakers, as well as the wall behind my listening position.
I have a "dedicated" listening room, with the speakers (M.L. ReQuests) aprox. 4 feet from the back wall, with about 5 feet behind my chair.
What typically works better behind the speakers?? Diffusion, or absorbtion? Ditto for the wall behind the speaker?
THANKS TO ANY & ALL!!
