Planar Speakers and Diffusors

Beautiful system Ozzy.

I ran planar for over thirty five years. Typically no absorption behind worked best for me. I had Apogee ribbons and they required an absorbing panel about six feet up, in the center above the speakers that was 9” high and three feet across. Otherwise painted drywall sounded best.

You speakers look exactly like updated and slightly larger Apogee Baby Grand.

ghdprentice,

Thank you for the comments. I guess the GIK diffusors interested me because they mention planar type speaker in the product description.

But I have searched, I can’t find any info from actual users of the product. And they are not exactly cheap.

Nice system.  I notice you have a subwoofer tucked into a corner.  I do think diffusors would be good, if 3D, consider ceiling diffusion and absorption as well as combinations at the sides as well. 

Keep in mind that you might want to use those corner spaces for bass traps. Measure and consider your bass response and room modes first, and then decide on corner bass traps and then decide on the rest with the remaining space. 

Consider movable curtains in front of the TV.  Experiment with a blanket over the TV to see if you hear meaningful impact or not.
