how can I make the back wall transparent?

If this is the wrong place for this topic please move it

My listening room is 11.5 x 15 and my speakers are 3.5 ft from the back wall.

I have spent considerable effort tweaking stuff, to the point where the system sounds very spacious and deep, BUT it still does not sound as spacious as systems with 6-8 ft of free space behind the speakers.

Is there any aesthetically pleasing wall treatment available that would give me that depth without moving the speakers

Taking the wall down is not an option:-)

If you want transparent I'd go for a window :-)

Joking aside, In my room I treated the wall behind the speakers with RPG diffusers works like a charm. There are several other options available at lesser cost, if your handy you could even make your own.

Asmuck has a system page built here on Audiogon, where he utilize some of the same ideas- his room is among the best I've heard.

Best of luck

Photon,

I'm about 5 feet from the wall behind me when seated, behind me is a row of cabinets and a counter. The space above the top row of cabinets have been stuffed with insulation then the space have been sealed of with cloth creating a very nice bass trap. Its about 12" deep 24" tall and about 20 feet long.

I read the OP was wanting to treat the wall behind the speakers with something to create depth in his soundstage my reason for suggesting the RPG or similar

As alway, Good Listening
