Part of the problem of the over damped rear wall is the lack of uniform absorption, especially below 1k. At the dealership where I worked out high end room before we moved was over dampened, a better solution is treat the bounces w absorption ( including floor or ceiling ), add diffraction to match AND realistic furnishings, and plants!!!
Direct or Reflect ... What's your flavor
Was thinking about this from another thread. When we think of a basic speaker we usually think of monopoles. That is, speakers with a single baffle or plane from which sound emanates out of to the room, but as long as I can remember there are examples at all price ranges of speakers designed specifically to reflect, or whose basic construction forced rear or side reflections. Among the "forced to reflect" categories:
So, still, for your music and tastes, who has gone with di-poles or ambient reflecting speakers and never looked back?
- Electro static speakers (Martin Logan, Sanders, etc.)
- Open Baffle / di-pole
- Bose 901 and smaller direct/reflecting models
- Snell with their rear tweets
- Wilson
- Probably numerous others
