I had also noticed the ceiling in the interrogation room in the television show Legion and wondered if it was also inspired by primitive root diffusers:

They are a combination product: https://www.artnovion.com/product-categories/6-absorption/products/23-siena-w-absorber. Honestly, the website didn't used to have complete information, so I wasn't able to use it for the original purpose that I intended.

Not a room, but a storefront:

@j_j, do you consider the "central image in your head" generally desirable as a goal, in your view?

Ah, Duke and Brian Waslo use a different approach than you touched on in your post. You didn't actually address this approach, which is why I brought it up. The delayed signal comes from two channels placed very close to the main left and right speakers, which in both Duke's and Brian Waslo's...

I don't think it's that trivial: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/diffusing-1st-reflections-of-speakers-that-measure-great-on-and-off-axis-instead-of-absorbing.14096/post-471238. It's not like all reflections would be uniformly attenuated -20dB but rather certain parts...

Yes, but what if someone likes listening to orchestral or instrumental music, other than the Toy Soldier March? Or electronic dance music (I like Thievery Corporation, though it's terribly engineered from a soundstage aspect, but Bajofondo Tango Club or Orbital do a lot of interesting things)...

I just wanted to clarify that the Gradient 1.4 should be positioned at least 30 cm from the wall behind them, however the OP defines "close."

Thank you. As probably expected, the more I read, the less I realize that I can pretend to know. It seems simple to say "broadband absorption," but the density and intrinsic properties of the material, the spacing from the boundary, the angle of incidence, and the covering fabric all seem to...

@Bjorn and @localhost127, thank you for your edifying posts. I learned a lot about your approaches, but I have a number of questions that I hope you would be so kind as to help me understand. I understand if you're otherwise occupied. 1. Could you please explain to an ignorant person like me...

I wonder whether home listener preferences are as stable across a variety of musical content or recording types, as reflected in this specific paper, which only compared two types of symphonic content. I imagine, for example, that tonality preference might come increasly into play for symphonic...

@j_j when I read your posts, I always feel like I'm many steps behind. I think my own personal concern regarding absorbing reflections is that absorption of reflections is highly dependent on the angle, material, and fabric covering, which will likely modify the frequency spectrum of the...
