Hi David.
I removed the treadmill from its place today. Its made quite a big difference in the performance. I must say the problem has been solved upto 70%. Its also more pleasing to hear the music now, & the imaging has also improved. I was wondering how a Treadmill next to the speaker could skew the response to such a degree. Do u think its the removal of the treadmill that's made the difference or placing the absorbers at the same height as the left 1st reflection point has contributed??? Coz when the treadmill was there, i had to keep them on it which elevated the height to 1ft higher than the other side.
Whatever may be, it has benefited a lot. Thanks for the suggestion.
Ethan, i just saw ur new video. Its very impressive to virtually see & hear, than just reading about what a product could do. Since i live in India & its hard to import your diffusors, i tried to DIY the same following the AcoustiCalc software. I made it using 11 wells, operating in the range of 600hz to 2.9khz. As u have seen the picture of my set-up, i had placed it on the table thats behind & between the speakers. The result was more impact, much more retrieval of detail & cleaner mid-bass. But i did not like it for 2 reasons. It tend to change the vocals a bit by adding sibilance & slight rough-edges. Is it placement critical? It was place just 2.5 ft away from the speakers, so i guess it was a little too close. The music also had become a tad louder. Did i go wrong in anyway????
I had taken a picture when i had kept them last week...
