Don't quite understand, George. Are you advocating flexible walls or rigid walls?

Yes, solid is your friend. You don't want the bass frequencies to flex the drywall with each compression, and then relax with each rarefaction. There is a reason no-one but homebuilders make speakers out of drywall.

Another good idea is to have shelving on the wall behind the speakers and the wall behind the listening position. Or if not shelving, something else irregular.

I finished my purpose-built two channel room a year ago. You are at the perfect stage to optimize dimensions with shelving and storage.1. I suggest looking up dimensions obtained by a big simulation, done properly, by the School of Acoustics at Sa...

Speaker Audition
I like panel speakers. I have owned big Magnepans and Quads, and won’t go back. Current setup is along long wall, far from corners, Quad 2805’s and 2905’s, 4 speakers total.Listening position is directly in front for vocals and corners for bass, B...
