Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener?

Greetings 

I have open book shelves on my back wall. They hold my technical books and years worth of audio magazines. Also a few diffuser/absorption panels and record cabinets.This has worked very well for me. I will add 2 bass tube traps soon. At the moment I prefer diffusion on my back wall. I’m 99% done with my room, not sure when I’ll get to the last 1%.

My head is 6 feet from back wall.

Maybe repositioning your CD’s in a random pattern might help? 6000 CD’s my goodness. Good for you.

Christian5s4,

How many of the GIK 6A Alpha diffusor/absorbers did you use?

I haven’t heard back from GIK yet, but Stillpoint’s says behind the listener treatment is not really necessary.

joenies,

BTW, the cd rack has many spots where there are few/none cd’s which creates alot of voids etc., in a random manner.

@ozzy Give GIK a few days. Their recommendation for my room was pretty accurate. 

People often seek to apply a solution when they don't know what the problem is. Diffusion and absorption each help resolve different issues applying the wrong one makes them worse.

Careful.

Google will lead one to AN answer.

Probably a lot more than one.
