Fake plants behind speakers a good idea?


I have 2.5 feet from the back of my floorstanders to the wall, and 3.5 to the side, I have seen some people placing silk plants behind their speaker, good idea or not
would the silk plant cause diffraction or absortion
thx

I dont think it will harm the sound but I dont know how large and dense the "plant" will be, my wife is thinking of doing the same thing, but I am not too sure about it.
Silk plants aren't big enough to do any effectively absorb or diffract sound waves.
Try some real plants.The dirt acts as a bass traps.
Dont ever water as it muddies the bass.

More than one respected speaker designer has told me that large plants carefully positoned can help a rooms sound.
I don't know what type of speakers that you have, but many maggie users, utilize silk ficus trees behind their speakers for diffraction. Contrary to what beavis says, the do apparently work.
