Talk to GIK Acoustics. I use panels behind the speakers and the couch for the same reason.
Advice on acoustic treatment
My listening room is approximately 24'x 16'. For reasons that are too involved to explain, I have to place my speakers (Triton 1r's) along one half of the long wall. This puts the right hand speaker towards a corner while the left hand speaker is not quite to the center of the long wall. My primary listening position is about 9' from the speakers which are currently about 8' apart and toed in to my listening position . My listening position is, unfortunately, back up against the wall opposite the speakers. Hope you can get the picture. Not ideal but at least the room is carpeted.
The wall behind my listening spot is an area of first reflections which I plan to treat with acoustic absorption panels (recommendations?). However, other than base traps in the corners, are there any other recommendations that will help me get the most out of this less than ideal arrangements? Or, is it a lost cause?
Appreciated,

If you're the least bit handy, this is what's behind the fabric of an awful lot of very expensive panels: https://www.amazon.com/Owens-Corning-703-Fiberglass-Boards/dp/B005V3L834/ref=asc_df_B005V3L834/?tag=... Nice thing about this, besides being dirt cheap compared to what they charge for the same thing once they cover it with fabric and call it an acoustic panel, is its super easy to cut to any shape with a sheetrock blade. Cheap and easy enough to experiment. So instead of buying some overpriced panel in some stock shape way bigger than you need you can cut whatever size and cover with whatever fabric you want. Just remember when it comes to fabric the ones closest to speaker grille material are the most effective at letting the panel absorb. Tight weave dense fabric starts to reflect when stretched over a panel. |
