Check out this room calculator to find your first reflections. Those in the horizontal plane and from the ceiling are more consequential than the floor. Good luck!
Room Treatment? How important is it to treat the wall behind/between the speakers?
Hi all,
I've treated first reflections on the side walls and some bass absorption with 2 GIK Sound Blocks on the side walls next to each speaker - which seemed to work better than directly behind them.
The picture behind the speakers is painted canvas (reflective) but stuffed with some leftover Rockwool - which I understand is probably not doing much.
So my question is, should the painting be replaced with something that is effective next and if so, what should I use?
Pics in my virtual system.
Thank you.

@macg19 in my profile's virtual system photo you can see my approach - two bass absorbers (8" thick) behind the speakers and a (home made) skyline-type diffuser between the speakers. I also have three 2by4 foot diffusers on the back wall behind my listening position.

Vigorous thumbs up to the positive impact of sound treatments behind and between my speakers in a 20 x 26 x 12 ft. dedicated room. The sound stage deepened greatly to the point of an illusion of being able to step into it. I’ve sound treated the ceiling, too that further enhances the illusion. I use bass traps, absorption and diffusion panels. My speakers are floor standing Tannoys paired with Tannoy supertweeters and Hsu subwoofers in an analogue system, |
@macg19 Congrats on a nice looking rig and room. If you're open minded to a few suggestions for better sound, here goes . . . these are not criticisms just ideas to try out.
