Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener?

Thanks for the help.

The DIY cd rack at the back wall (behind me) starts at about 4 foot high and does go to about a foot from the top of the ceiling. It covers the width of the room. The rack does have many open spaces between the cd's. Again, I thought it would help with "scatter affect." But I’m not sure where I got that idea, and I did need a place for the CD’s.

These days I don’t play CD’s and I thought about taking down the racks. The Gika Acoustics or the T’fusor, looks to be an interesting option. Should they be placed in the center of the rear wall?

BTW, the rear wall is about 17 wide and 8 feet high.

when i designed and built my listening room, i purposefully put a room length storage closet behind the listening position, then mounted heavy duty curtain rods above that area, hanging heavy velvet curtains to help absorb the sound from behind

i think this contributes quite a bit to the room being well damped... as i can open the curtains and hear a difference

this may be worth your giving a try ozzy

So, you think absorbing material should be used?

For my room, I treated all walls plus ceiling.

Room sound went from bright and edgy to calm and peaceful.

Bigger improvement in SQ than any gear swap.

See my pics in virtual systems.

So you also went with sound absorbing material?
