Sonnie, I wouldn't make any cracks about you being a redneck hillbilly.
OK, I'm lying, I would and probably will eventually.. I have been known to be a little, umm, sarcastic/acidic/etc with my humor.
But, back the issue at hand. I'm going to be building some panels for my listening room and wanted to get some feedback from your experience.
To that end, I have a few follow up questions:
- Are they 1" or 2"?
- Did you play around with the placement at all?
- Is there a space between the wall and the panel?
- Did you play around with this at all?
I've heard of two tricks for the placement of the panels.
The first is to use a mirror pressed against the wall and have someone else slide it on the wall until you see the tweeter from your sitting position. As soon as you see the tweeter centered in the mirror, that will be the dead center of the panel.
The second trick is to put a little bit of space between the panel and the wall. I think I've seen that 2" is the most effective, but I can't imagine I'd ever do that -- low WAF, claustrophobia (the walls are caving in!!
). But maybe 1"?
