Dipoles are generally meant to be placed pretty far away from the back wall, so the direct sound won't actually be overwhelmed by the reflected sound. So pulling them away from the wall generally helps a lot. Pretty much anything which absorbs sound will help on the wall: a (full) bookshelf, a tapestry or carpet, etc. Compressed fiberglass insulation appears to be a very good thing to make absorbers out of. Do a search on acoustics and evans-corning 705 or 703. -- totoro squeezebox 3 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29927 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
