Hi Everyone,
I have a unique situation in my apartment living room. There is an old fireplace that has been drywalled over but they left an opening. I was thinking about placing my center channel speaker (Neumann KH310) there since it is at the perfect height for under the TV. The back wall is tile. Is this a foolish idea? I understand there would be issues with reflections and bass buildup. If you think the acoustic issues are manageable with treatment, how should I go about solving them? What type of absorption would help?
Or do you think it would cause too many problems? I actually had a custom panel built for a prior setup that fills in the hole (see third photo). Should I just forget about it and just place the speaker in front of the panel that fills in the space? Thanks in advance for your advice!
