Planar Speakers and Diffusors

@ozzy brush this by the guys at GIK if you haven’t yet.
This is tricky and no two listening rooms are the same. Send pics and dimensions to GIK. Their recommendations for me were spot on. 

I have tried to connect with GIK, and they say I must make an appointment to actually talk to them, in about a month from now!

No 💩! Wow

Still worth it though in my opinion. I wouldn’t rush.
How about asking speaker manufacturer for their thoughts?

Also…If the problem doesn’t really exist I would advise against trying to solve it. 

You got a fantastic question from Duke - what does the speaker manufacturer recommend ? i would email them photos and a dimension sketch.

Personlly, i like wood Quadratic Residue diffusers and a you might consider a combination diffuser / absorber on slides to cover the TV. Core Audio Designs make a lovely version. A blanket… is a start but is NOT remotely broad band or linear….

Thanks, guys, for the help.

GIK did send me an email based on the pictures I sent them of my room, but their suggestions were all over the map. A one-to one conversation needs to be scheduled and they say they are booked out for the next month. Plus, it took many days before they even responded to a question via their website or email. So, I guess working with them is out.

The dealer suggests diffusors behind the speakers or nothing else. No sound absorbing material. The speaker designer also attends the shows with the dealer, so I think they are on the same page as to room treatments. Believe me I had a whole room full of Tube Traps, Stillpoint Apertures and they deadened the sound. So, I sold them all.

I would like to try something, (I guess I am bored?)

Quadratic Residue diffusers? What is the difference in performance between them and the slat type diffusors?
