Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener?

I have a 48x56" Rockwool sound absorption panel installed into the wall behind my listening chair. Covered by a print of the Grand Tetons taken at 10,000' . 

In another room I was forced to vacate I had a closet the length of the wall behind. I put absorption on back wall of it and removed the doors. That extended the size of the room and the distance behind the listening chair. It was probably the best sounding dedicated room I have used.

Since you are familiar with ASC tube traps, take a look at Art Noxon’s suggestions.

I believe a couple tube traps with silver buttons facing the listener is what he would recommend behind your listening position. 

Thanks. Who is Art Noxon’s ?

I read with great interest your situation. I also have a lumin x1. The footings are interesting

I think all the CDs should be arranged irregularly to improve diffuser capabilities. Do you have lots of sound treatment stuff in the room. I would remove it all and see what the furniture in the room is doing which is extremely important and always never really discussed.

You sit really far from the back wall which is ideal, no doubt the speakers are pulled forward.

No doubt you’re Westie offers invaluable diffuser and absorption benefits.

Don’t overthink it it’s not rocket science

Love your system

Thank you, you are too kind.

BTW, my Westie is named Westy. He really loves to lay between the speakers in the sweet spot.

The cd’s are arranged irregularly by the artist. Some groupings have many cd’s, some not so many and there are spaces between artists.

I have the speakers about a 1/3 out from the wall and I sit about 1/3 back from the speakers and then the chair is also 1/3 back from the rear wall. Although, that was mostly just a starting point until I dialed everything in.

This whole thought occurred to me because I really don’t listen to the cd’s anymore. so, I was wondering what to do with that wall if I removed them. I appreciate the very good suggestions that have been made by the community.
