Planar Speakers and Diffusors

I have the Clarisys Speakers. They are the Planar type. I would like to treat the wall behind the speakers. I have been told not use any type of sound absorber, so I am interested in the GIK Acoustics Q7d Diffusor

I have a large 85" TV in between the speakers, so the only area that can be treated is behind the Planers. Check out my systems page.

I have yet to find a review of these diffusors, so has anyone used these and can comment on the effectiveness?

@drbond, by “back wall” are you speaking of the wall behind your speakers (in front of you as you listen)?

Yes, thanks for catching that!

In that last post, I typed: "I placed absorption panels on the entire back wall (with bass traps in the corners)."

I should have typed "on the entire front wall" (behind the speakers).

drbond,

I do have some 4-foot absorbent type panels that I could place behind the speakers against the wall temporary. But I think I started out this way...

So, I just tried the absorbent panels behind my Clarisys speakers, and they did provide more of center image that was nice but at the expense of the deeper soundstage from the rear wall reflection.
