RE: Lovin my MMG's, except.....

"So last night I set them back to vertical and realized an immediate improvement in clarity and, to some degree, dynamics. Next I pulled the sidewall first reflection absorption down. To my delight this widened the soundstage more than I've ever heard it before but unfortunately with a catch. The top end is a touch shrill now and can get uncomfortable on certain tracks. I'm still interested in trying diffusion on the sidewalls...perhaps in conjunction with absorption. I'm thinking of making up similar panels to the ones I have behind the speakers except drill lots of holes in them and place 703 panels behind the diffusion panel."

This is all behaving as it's supposed to. I love it when that happens.

The trick now to taming the high end is to add more HF absorption to the room, but in a different place. Season to taste. It doesn't really matter where, as long as the application is symmetrical and not at the first reflection points, where you do want reflections because they make the sound more spacious.
