Room treatment for Maggies

Posted by Jimbocky (A) on March 1, 2021 at 19:01:17

Let me start by saying I understand room treatment. In the past I have have two treated rooms. Absorption and quadratic diffusion along with infinite baffle subs and big home built speakers similar to Focal Utopias but higher quality components and crossover.

I have a room 9 feet deep and 20 feet wide. Kitchen to the right and glass front of house to the left. I am not worried about the left and right reflections.

Tile floor. I have a shag carped on order which will get padding underneath.

Couch is two inches off the rear wall. LRS Maggies are about 2.5 feet from front wall with hallways on each side behind them. Shelving unit between them and TV mounted on wall.

None of this will change.

Here is my question: Do I diffuse the little amount of wall in front and do the best with absorption on the rear wall?

Or do I diffuse the rear wall and deaden the front?

I am thinking diffusion on the front and absorption on the rear.

Couch won't move and contrary to popular opinion I have setup 2 out of 3 setups this way. It reinforces bass and the rear reflections are less than 20 milliseconds so it is very clear.

My main thing is since these are dipoles I am thinking again diffuse the front to keep the openess of the Maggies. I love the depth and openess of this. I do however realize I have a very live room.
