[QUOTE="RR, post: 23560"] Thanks ouens. Interesting. I actually absorb at the first reflection point, although nothing fancy. Left hand side has a very thick curtain about 80-90 cm from the tweeter, right hand side has some soft couch covering about 90-100cm for the tweeter, and some angled steel blinds a further 40cm behind that (although this obviously acts as diffusor). Imaging as actually affected (although very slightly) by the angle of the blinds. The absorption makes very little discernable difference at lower listening levels, but definitely comes into play at higher volumes and makes dynamic contrasts sound clearer. PS. The curtain on the left hand side actually serves as a room divider. It seperates the foyer and stairs area of my house from the living room where the hifi is situated. Typical of foyers and stairs; that area is quite bare and produces a nasty echo during the clap test. So.., the room division cures this big time. Again, most discernable at higher listening levels. Room acoustics is an immensely interesting field...... [/QUOTE]
