Absorption behind components and speakers rationale?

I get that absorption panels are used to absorb the first reflection and limit reverberations is a good idea.  And a rug and maybe some additional panels help absorb Rogue Sonic waves.

But what's the rationale for including absorption panels behind the system.  I have a window door behind my system and maybe this is impacting things in a negative way.

Just looking for a simple easy to understand rationale because not very smart.

I found some bubos acoustical panels 4' x 2', a pack of five for about 100 bucks. On Amazono.

Fairly nice looking and probably will do good things I used panels like this before and super convenient

At least they can be easily adhered to the French double doors. I feel really smart right now

Incredible comment and I understood what was said which is pretty remarkable for someone like me.

I think the pressure up in the front of the room and having it bounce back and degrade the signal coming from the speakers is of note. Smearing is an interesting term.

I know, so I may need to double them up.  I may need to find different ones without the full back adhesive which I found on others.

That's curious about cylindrical traps. Is there much of a difference between cylindrical and the triangle panels that fit snuggling into the corner?
