Acoustic Panel Help

Doing this will be a trial and error experiment. I have used Maggies for about 30 years and have been through more changes than I wanted.  These dipoles are tricky as for room treatment, just a small change in treatment will produce great effect.  So take your time, listen for a few days or so before making another change.  Nobody has the same room as you.

+1 for @larryi ‘s comment. I have a wall-hung plasma tv between my speakers (which are placed about 3 feet in front of the wall) and my imaging is precise with a great sense of 3-D instrument location. The tv does not seem to affect the imaging (the tv was not always there).

I have a similar setup with 1.6's but with a little more room to the sides of a 50" plasma to the side walls which are at a 45 degree angle from the back wall. When I had a 24" CRT on a table in the middle I had very good sound staging. I tried absorptive panels on the back wall and it just killed everything so I put them at a first reflection point on one far sidewall. To my surprise, it tamed that 100 hz's or so bass node that Maggies seem to produce. When I put the plasma on the table about 2' from the back wall it kind of messed up the soundstage. When I hung it on the back wall I got 90% of the sound staging back compared to the CRT. Good enough. I write this because I've always wondered if diffusion on the back wall next to the plasma would improve the soundstage even more. I'll try to follow this thread and see what you learned.

I just saw this on Nextdoor before coming here:

I have 1.7i's and have found in my room absorption on the front wall and diffusion on the back wall work well to maintain imaging while providing a sense of spaciousness. Maggie's radiate little to the sides, so I have found side wall reflections not to be a significant issue. YMMV.
