Aborbers proximity to walls and speaker

I reread what i wrote and it seems a bit confusing

Right now one of my absorbers is in the same plane as my speaker wondering if this effects what i'm hearing
If you take a look at my system page you will see the absorber to the rights location
I have moved my speakers forward one foot to get them out of that alcove

Hence my initial question is having absorption to close a bad thing or a good thing ?

Thanks for your input
Anybody else care to comment I won't bite -)

Hi Drummer
Thanks for posting

The space between my right side speaker and the wall is 18"
I'm using a GIK 242 but want to use a 244 as Bryan from GIK seems to think that would the ideal

Given my setup here's what I see as being problematic I will have a lot more boundary loading on the right side than the left as well as a completely different set of arrival times/intensities for early reflections

Generally the alcove the Speakears are positioned in tend to focus things and reinforce bottom end like a horn. anything coming in there as a reflection from another portion of the room is going to again, be focused and some of it actually shifted to the other sides of the room.

With that much of a drastic difference in off axis power response that low in frequency, I definitely need to absorb the reflections as they'll not only be skewed from the direct and from each other in time - but they'll have a significantly different spectral balance than the direct signal.

I hope that makes sense
All things considered the room sounds pretty good not sure how !!!!
