@ozzy I'd be curious to hear what GIK says. That's a great service they provide - it was somewhat of an education to me in terms of the information they provided (and why).
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.

Greetings I have open book shelves on my back wall. They hold my technical books and years worth of audio magazines. Also a few diffuser/absorption panels and record cabinets.This has worked very well for me. I will add 2 bass tube traps soon. At the moment I prefer diffusion on my back wall. I’m 99% done with my room, not sure when I’ll get to the last 1%. My head is 6 feet from back wall. Maybe repositioning your CD’s in a random pattern might help? 6000 CD’s my goodness. Good for you.

Christian5s4, How many of the GIK 6A Alpha diffusor/absorbers did you use? I haven’t heard back from GIK yet, but Stillpoint’s says behind the listener treatment is not really necessary. joenies, BTW, the cd rack has many spots where there are few/none cd’s which creates alot of voids etc., in a random manner. ozzy |
@ozzy Give GIK a few days. Their recommendation for my room was pretty accurate. |
