RE: Another First Reflection Trap (FRT) Adventure : Quasi-Ambiophonics

Josh358: "I take it you're still using your original setup at home?"

Short answer is yes, unfortunately I don't get to listen to it as often as I'd like.

Longer answer: I have tried to do the setup shown by st.chelvam, and got pretty good results. I used my 2 FRT panels as the barrier, stiffeners touching so the total barrier was about 4" wide, and using those foam pipe insulators on the forward edge as a headrest. I had my Gunned MMGs touching the FRT panels, about 4 feet away from my ears. So the angle between the tweeters was between 10-20 degrees, which should be ideal. I was thinking, though, that the fact that the FRTs are wooden panels did the configuration a disservice, since the high frequencies bouncing off the hard surface might have had a smearing effect. So I have a plan to glue some insulation to that reflective surface (thinking the textured foam used as mattress cushions) to reduce those reflections. These reflections don't seem to be a problem with the separated configuration I wrote about initially, btw. Haven't had the opportunity to do that yet.

And besides, the separated configuration allows for a TV screen so I can control the music selection or watch a concert video. Can't do that with the barrier dead center. Although a VR reality set of goggles would make that possible... ;-)
