RE: Great !!

The key is simply blocking the line of sight between channels. If your speakers have very little toe in, the skinnier panel width is OK.

In most cases, 12 inches is usually enough. Thickness is immaterial, of course, although a little absorbent material on the back is better as it will absorb some of the reflected sound off the back wall. You can simply buy 6 foot by 12 inch shelving and use that.

While your application works, some sound waves will bleed around the barrier and still meet and clash in the center, so the panels are preferred and will even give greater sonic gains.

Lighter panels are easier to move around too, if you have a TV set in the center. You can make a a sort of T shaped base so it becomes very easy to play with the angles, which makes a major sound difference.

Remember the panels must be taller than your tweeter height in order to have a greater sound stage height. Six inches would be great, although I have used 7 foot high panels with great success
