Absorption or diffusion????


Hi all, I've been adding some acoustical treatment to my room the last couple of weeks. I am waiting for some of the Auralex Tfusors and Metrofusors which are on order from my local Sam Ash. I have implemented pieces of their Studiofoam 2" pyramids, wedgies and Lenrd Bass traps for absorption. I am thinking of applying some of these on a piece of cardboard and mounting it to the screen of my 50" RPTV via Velcro strips when listening to music. Which should I use over the TV, absorption or diffusion? The TV sits in between my main speakers.
Thanks

Interesting. Hopefully, Rives will see this thread and offer some recommendations.
I have the same problem in my family room, i.e. a 55" rptv sitting between the speakers. For a cheap fix, I use two 2' x 4' panels of 3" pyramid foam, mounted to 1/2" pvc tubing. I guess you would consider this more of a diffuser than anything else.

It may not be ideal, but it was cheap, and it works. Solidified my center image, and allowed to the soundstage to deepen.
