with this small rectangular room [12 x 16] i had serious standing waves and boomy acoustics with my magnepan mmgs and my older mbquart towers. i put the m green smaller corner tunes with the absorber side out and the slender pillows midway along the side walls with the diffusor side out as recommended by some people who use them. the result was much less boom. this was before i put the 2' x 2' cathedrals on the rear wall and side walls [ a friend gave them to me for christmas] and they helped too. i have not measured the room's acoustics but when i move around the waves of overpronounced bass is gone totally. and the plus is really nice definition and image. have you ever read his forum? lots of interesting things there about using 29 dollar cd players and spring devices to dampen electronics which i havn,t tried yet. my goal is to get my system as detailed and engaging as possible with the speakers vanishing. unfortunately a lot of the music i listen to is compressed rock but i do have a d krall live in paris cd here somewhere. ha
Diffusers for magnepan speakers
Looking for thoughts on building a skyline diffuser panel the same size as a maggie 1.6 to place behind speakers. Asking for advice because my online reseach mentioned a 2x2 panel for general specs. i do not want to waste the time and money if it would not sound good. I am thinking about three 2x2 panels placed on stands behind the speakers about 3.5 feet. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
