Planar Speakers and Diffusors

I have the Clarisys Speakers. They are the Planar type. I would like to treat the wall behind the speakers. I have been told not use any type of sound absorber, so I am interested in the GIK Acoustics Q7d Diffusor

I have a large 85" TV in between the speakers, so the only area that can be treated is behind the Planers. Check out my systems page.

I have yet to find a review of these diffusors, so has anyone used these and can comment on the effectiveness?

ketchup,

Thanks,

My room is 17 X 26 X 8. Center to center speaker is 138" they are 60" from the front wall and 30" from the sidewall, and I sit 144" from the speakers.

I have 4 JL-F-113 subs in the corners that are calibrated to the room and crossed over at 45hz.

I just visited the ATS website, and their prices are comparable to GIK. All the different types of diffusors are confusing.

Hi @ozzy, 60 inches distance from the wall behind them is exactly what I would recommend.  More would be nice, but 60 inches will do the job very well.

I use often fake Ficus trees for diffusion.  A real diffusion panel would be superior, but unfortunately I don't know which one to recommend.

ozzy,

what do you think of the michi amplifier, I'm upgrading to the new SIM audio 861 I don't know how close the michi will be to that one but it's 22,000 US.

audiokinesis,

I have considered the fake plants. However, I still have alot of cabling behind the speakers, so the real estate is limited.
