The room is actually 2 rooms joined. My music room and a dining room with a large opening between them. Essentially no left wall for the left speaker and the right wall is about 8 feet from the right speaker. There is a bany grand piano that helps with defraction of the right speaker. Floor is hardwood but I have a nice thick rug and pad under that. See system photos.
Acoustics experts - a little help please
Hey all,
I have 9 foot ceilings and I sit in a 9 foot equilateral triangle with my speakers. Do I need to treat the ceiling? Absorption or defraction? I'm trying to get a deeper more 3D soundstage.Speakers are 46" from the front wall which is treated with absorption and defraction.
Thanks!

Setting expectations straight, 3D is a foolish concept concept in purist stereo. A BACCH processor will trick and give some semblance of 3D in a stereo rig. You will need a multichannel rig with ceiling speakers, back speakers etc and object based audio processors for true 3D. But, if you turn everything loud enough with the stereo and everything’s smacking the face left and right, it could help you not think about (obsess about) 3D. These type of obsessions tend to occur at low listening levels.
Having said that, hang 6 inch traps (absorption) right above your listening position with an air gap like what @mashif did. It will mitigate the impact of standing waves/modal issues heightwise. (Floor and ceiling are parallel surfaces)
