Absorption/Diffraction..1st reflective points...


It would be easier and more aesthetically pleasing for me to use large plants at 1st reflective points to tighten up the sound stage. Would this method have a sonic degradation compared to absorption?

Thanks...

The size of the room will determine absorption compared to diffraction. Placing plants in any room will still make an enjoyable listening environment.
14`w by 17`long by 8`h. DL room. I would go with absorption with the size of the room being rather small but not tiny.. Diffraction works well when listening chair is further away from a rear wall.The closer the listening chair to the rear wall the better to use absorption..there is much to read and there is allot of different opinions. The best thing to remember is to use 4" or better. And a little will go along way.The best to you...
