Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener?

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.

I learned a lot by reading his technical papers.

Ozzy, you may want to measure your room. If you don't have any WAF considerations and can treat as you please I would measure. 

My GIK rep had a great point which is that, although he rec that I measure my room to see what I'm working with - because it is the LR and I'm WAF limited, that it is less important. This is because even if the measurements call for certain treatments, if they don't look like they will look good in our LR, I'm not buying it.

That said, I'm not tech savy at all and every time I start watching a youtube vid on REW my brain turns to mush. Also, I don't have streaming so I don't have a good way to hook up my laptop to my integrated amp (Primaluna). Someday I'll make the effort when I have more time, but I don't now - but again, it won't make much difference anyway since I'm for the most part limited to panels with Guliford fabric (and not ones with diffusion over top).

It is a amazing that turning the ASC tube traps how it can affect the center image.
