Acoustic question


In my current listening room, is also my family room (15’6” x 19’6”).  On the right, 4’5” from the front of the room is a 9’ opening to the living room. On the left, the wall continues just past my listening position. I can hear the difference between the 2 walls. My wife suggested I get one of those woven wood, 6’x 8’ room dividers, and place it in the opening when listening.

What are your thoughts about how this would impact the acoustics?

Thanks.

@grannyring ,

Thanks for the tip. My speakers are sitting on some polished granite (old countertop) and I’ve put painters tape on the granite with marks every half inch. I’m still adding sound dampening as well.

Thanks Erik,

 I was kinda thinking of you when I asked the question. I’m to cheap for Roon, but minidsp is in the back of my mind.  I was going to start with a couple of 2’x4’ sound absorbing panels on each side and see where to go from there.
What about some sound diffuser something on the ceiling?  Will I get bang for my buck going that route?

@grannyring,

 “I also found I had to pull the right speaker about .5 inches closer.”

 Closer to what?
