"... but no, that won't work, its all about the energy thats fired towards the front wall(behind the speakers), you must have a symmetrical situation there, thats actually THE most important wall of all, side walls + back wall(behind listener) have less influence."
Long ago, I had some interest and concern about sound emanating from that wall behind my Tympanis, and hung a batch of mattress pads on the backs of the speakers. I was unable to discern any large difference in the resultant sound. I concluded that the front wall is not as significant as many enjoy saying.
Follow Ups:
I've experimented with absorption behind them. Ended up with pinpoint imaging that was impressive, but after a while I got tired of the unnaturally "dry" acoustic and went back to rear wall reflections.
Mattress pads absorb as opposed to a wall that will reflect, I can only imagine that your Tympani's are placed well away from the front wall which will reduce the influence of reflections, that might(?) explain the minor difference you experienced, or your front wall was already covered with absorbing material?. In normal room set-ups moving speakers towards and away from the front wall will have a large influence on bass volume and image depth, the influence of side walls is much smaller and the back wall basically only comes into play if your listening seat Is in it's proximity.
