RE: Front wall room treatment for dipoles, Maggies, others

I heard from Bruce Thigpen. He says the radiation pattern of the dipole is a figure 8. When looking from the top of the speaker, one half of the 8 radiates forward in an oval shape, and the back half is the same. He says the link you provided with the reflection point directed inwards to the center of the front wall is for a cone, direct radiator and is not applicable to dipoles. Furthermore, he says diffusers need to placed directly perpendicular to the speaker, on the front wall. Not in the center of the wall. So I'm not sure your D1's are really in the best location if you were really wanting to diffuse the back wave. Just an FYI for you.
