"My new stereo room has marble floors, no drapes or carpet and typical drywall and had a nasty slap echo. I installed 25 Synergistic Research HFT's according to their recommendations and the slap echo is gone."
lwin- that explains why there is a tread with hundreds of posts. Amazing a fuse has the ability to control reflections.
Your post is a goof right? If not, those fuses have ears. Takes the YMMV phrase to a new level.
"What about the sides. how far to each side would you suggest?"
goofyfoot-my listening area is hardwood.
A width equaling the distance speakers are spread apart(outer edge of speakers) is probably fine. Diffuser panels L/R for first reflections really made a difference in my situation.
I removed wall to wall carpet for hardwood for aesthetic reason, but find the sound more pleasing(realistic) once the balance was established between
echo and damping.
