Difusers on the speakers?


I’ve read hundreds of posts on this forum about room treatments,

Today the following occured to me

  • Many posts talks about room treaments - specifially diffusers - and how their placement benefits sound quality by dispersing/absorbing reflected sound waves
    • my speakers are a rectangular box 10" wide and 40" tall with a very flat front
    • it occured to me that having some type of diffuser (or absorbtion material) on the front of them might improve sound quality

My guess is that speakers with a slightly curved front has a buit in diffuser

Has anyone tried this?

What was the result?

Cheers - Steve

2 things..Nextel spray finish Flocking spray..oh and 1 more thing..the EnABl process..All will work..even 1 of these on the drivers. Tom

Agreeing with @newbee , but I’d cut holes in the blanket. An old bath towel could work, and you could vary the thickness....
Something to play about with....

Room arrangement can make a huge change, as can treatments. But one has to perk their ears up, almost literally. Things get subtle....

Since there’s no ’Do Not Remove’ tags on audio gear (not withstanding the ’No User Parts’ labels), you are free to whatever still falls into the SAF Zone.

...and Good Luck with that.... ;) You are on your own.....

@theaudiotweak ....Re EnABl process: I take it you approve of it?
Had an ongoing curiosity about it, and thoughts on how to do it easily...

+1 This has been the most impactful upgrade to my system I've ever made

@havocman  "just try the Townshend podiums, they're expensive but oh my goodness it's like having a whole new system it makes that big of a difference isolating the speakers from vibrations."
