Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener?


I have treated the 1st and 2nd reflection points and I have sound panels between my speakers. I also have tube traps in all 4 corners, but I am not sure what (if any) should be done with the wall behind the listener.

That wall presently has a DIY rack system that holds about 5000-6000 cd’s. I believe it helps scatter the sound. But I’m not sure if that is the right approach.

So, what are you guys using on that wall? Diffusion, Absorbtion, Reflection? Anything else?

I would appreciate your thoughts.

I read with great interest your situation. I also have a lumin x1. The footings are interesting

I think all the CDs should be arranged irregularly to improve diffuser capabilities. Do you have lots of sound treatment stuff in the room. I would remove it all and see what the furniture in the room is doing which is extremely important and always never really discussed.

You sit really far from the back wall which is ideal, no doubt the speakers are pulled forward.

No doubt you’re Westie offers invaluable diffuser and absorption benefits.

Don’t overthink it it’s not rocket science

Love your system
