[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 56406, member: 20"] You don't say what kind of wood? Veneered panel, slats or what? If you choose something like veneered panel, such a construction could be beneficial to your sound reproduction. If you ensure that it is well damped, a wooden wall can act as a broadband absorber in the bass region and therefore do much to reduce standing waves. Ideally though, you want a similar construction on at least one of the side walls to address the other room modes too. To make a broadband absorber you need to create a constrained layer damped construction with two sheet materials sandwiched together using a visco-elastic glue. One layer could be your decorative wood panel, while the other would be hidden and less expensive. But such a sandwich must still be fixed to a good solid frame to prevent the whole affair from vibrating. Example of a visco-elastic glue formulated for constrained layer damping applications: http://www.greengluecompany.com/ There used to be a local distributor. [/QUOTE]
