Re: First Reflection -- Absorbtion, Diffusion or Both?

I agree with others. I've found foam absorption to work best at first reflection points. I've had great luck with Sonex 3" foam. I agree that 2" is generally not thick enough (although I've found it useful as a "supplement" in other places in the room (further from my listening area). One important thing I've learned: the concave Sonex is much more linear in it's effect than the convex. I don't know why this is, but it's unmistakable in my situation. I wish it weren't so, because it means buying more boxes of Sonex, i.e. because I'm only using half of it. I guess if I were to do this again, I would call Sonex and ask them if they could supply only the concave. Good luck.
