I mentioned this somewhere else, but remember seeing a picture of male model Fabio's system? Nice gear, (IRS speakers and Krell electronics iirc), but set-up in a marble-floored, glass-walled room. Ridiculous.
Planar dipole speakers benefit more from diffusion behind them than absorption, assuming they can be 5' or more in front of the wall behind them. That allows them to create the very deep and huge sound stage of which they are capable.
