Any ideas about rear wave diffusion for panels? Keeping in mind that size goes up as frequency DROPS, how low would you think I need to go? How much of the rear should be effected? \ Would a 24" x 24" diffusor per panel suffice? Larger? Any preferenes as to TYPE of diffusor to purchase or construct? My panels are about 34" from the wall which is TOO CLOSE and I think I could open up the sound stage AND improve imaging at one stroke. Would you say this is an accurate guess? Too much is never enough |

I think you want the diffusors longer to cover 4 ft of the center backwave output |

I built mine from 2 x 2's, IIRC also right around 7 1/2" deep. |

Well, that is a different way to get Freq specific slots for diffusion. |

So the foam PE does not need to be sealed like styrofoam to prevent unwanted absorption? |

With standard styrofoam you do need to seal with paint to prevent significant absorption. |

Isn't frame width related to front/back cancelation frequency?
