Hi, my wife recently exercised her right of eminent domain and claimed my office/listening room. It is now the kids play room...my 2 ch system has been relegated to small rectangular area in the living room. This is where my problem arises. Due to the shape of the space (imagine a rectangular area 8x14 ft with one of the long sides open to the rest of the living room) both of my 805S speakers will have to be placed against one of the short sided walls. One of the speakers will actually be in the corner. I am concerned about sound reflection off the side and back wall. In addition, the listening area will also be against a wall (the other short side).
I was planning on hanging a tapestry behind the listening position to help with reflection. Is this a good idea? More importantly, do I need sound absorbing panels behind the speakers and to the side of one of the speakers? If so, what name brands do people recommend? Are these panels expensive? Are they availalbe in different colors? As this will be in the living room, I need panels that are not too ugly or else they will not pass the WAF. I dont want to end in the garage like another poster(cruzer).
thanks for the help.
