Aborbers proximity to walls and speaker

I reread what i wrote and it seems a bit confusing

Right now one of my absorbers is in the same plane as my speaker wondering if this effects what i'm hearing
If you take a look at my system page you will see the absorber to the rights location
I have moved my speakers forward one foot to get them out of that alcove

Hence my initial question is having absorption to close a bad thing or a good thing ?

Hi I think it really depends. Expiramentation might be best. Also, usually at first reflection folks us diffusion, like rpg bad arc panels. I am in the middle of a rives room project...

However, given your room, maybe it's ok. I might try diffussors of some sort also...

Sorry its not a easy answer...

Thanks for your input
Anybody else care to comment I won't bite -)
