IME, yes. I have used both the rear panels and those at the first reflection points. Speakers are well away from the room boundaries. I have also used the free standing Furutech panels. The latter can be moved around and give you some idea of what improvement can be made at different locations. I use one directly behind each speaker and in the center between the speakers. I use many different speakers and amps and have found the improvement using the panels not matter what the 'chain' is. Getting room treatment right takes time and effort. I've use EQ wizard software to do room analysis and that helped me 'see' what I was hearing.
Sound diffusion panels--do they reduce brightness?
My listening room is still a little too bright
The doors behind the seating area have 2 absorbing panels. It has been suggested that adding 2 diffusion panels in this area of first reflections will cure the brightness. Does anyone have experience with these diffusion panels ?
