@bkeske Thanks for the pic. That is very similar to my set up. Thanks everyone. I appreciate your positive response.
Room divider
I would like some feedback from people who use a room divider. My listening room is rather a lot longer than wider. So my listening area is about half the length of my total room. The other end is more of a sitting area with a couch and chair coffee table and end tables. It’s really my Rolling Stones room where I have all my Rolling Stones autographs hung on my walls. Anyway I was thinking about a room divider behind my listening chair when I’m the only one listening to music. Would this be a good idea for better sound as to keep more of it in my listening area ? Anyone have any thoughts or have done the same ?

Be very careful. Typically most of us dampen the area behind the listeners seat to prevent rear reflections. I fortunately have a really large room and there is nothing behind my chair and that is a blessing. Room acoustics are unique, so perhaps there is some issue. If the partition isn’t close to the back of your chair and scatters sound or absorbs it, this might be ok. I would experiment with materials before committing to something expensive that you cannot return. Audio needs to breathe. The divides in the photo above work because they are on the side where side reflections would form, the divider is not parallel like a wall and has slats which diffuse. |
@tattooedtrackman be careful dividing the room. With large speakers you might end up overloading the space. Right now it’s open and has less sound quality impacting properties than a smaller room would have. Overloading is a difficult problem to address. I would leave it alone. |
