Are there unique considerations or recommendations that differ for omnidirectional stereo speakers that should be considered when performing room acoustical treatment?
My understanding is bass frequencies would still require bass traps in the four corners of the room regardless of the type of speaker. But what about absorbers and diffusers? I have a recommendation from an acoustician that I should use all diffusers and no absorbers due to the unique nature of omnidirectional speakers. I was also instructed not to use any treatment on the wall behind or in between the speakers.
I have two Ohm Walsh Super Sound Cylinder 4900s for a stereo setup. Our dedicated TV room is on the smaller side. It is roughly 13 ft x 10 ft. Unfortunately, we did have to set it up on the long axis of the room in this home. That won't be a problem in our next home as we will build a dedicated room with better dimensions. It's a lot of money for acoustical treatment and we want to make sure we get the best bang for our buck.
