This first part I stole from a Frank Van Alstine post. Good wallpaper stores in large cities sell acoustic wall paper. Ask them to show you the sample book. You(or your spouse) can select the color or pattern. Applied acoustic wallpaper is reasonably priced.
This second part,I came up with by dumb luck. In my room,the sides are far away enough from the panels that they don't really need to be treated.
One of the best features(imo) of properly set up Maggies is the colorless(pitchless) reverberation that leads to imaging that is staggeringly good. Google Manfred Schroeder+colorless reverberation for more about that topic.
The rear firing sound waves,the ones that were causing colorless reverberation,were sympathetically vibrating the drywall,adding a ringing that I thought,at first,could have been the upstream electronics.
Adding acoustic wall paper to the wall behind the Maggie 1.6s improved their performance MORE than enough to justify the time and expense of adding the paper.
Maggies are a pain to set up properly,but once you get them right,you'll love them.
If you listen at rock and roll performance amplitude,you will want lots of watts.
