As @Folkman said earlier, once you sorted out your first and second reflection points, positioning doesn’t really matter anymore (this is true only for porous material based “bass traps”). The more traps the better.
A good treatment should cover 10% of the room’s total surface (including floor and ceiling). But this, of course, depends on your goals.
I spent quite some time thinking how to make the treatment acceptable. My wife likes it :
Wow. Thanks.
Two weeks ago I got in touch with Magico for the first time in my live: A colleague had “the humble” A1 at home for a demo. I still have to think about that hour in front of his system with those speakers. Very impressive.
Those S3 must be simply outstanding. Congratulations.
Diffusion between the speakers helps with stereo image.
On the back wall I chose absorption because of distance limitations.

My room has some ehco so I am thinking of diffuser on back wall and maybe gik 150mm panel with scatter plate on them on front. My room L shape that has a kitchen in the L with granite tops. So diffuser might work.
Sound will travel through the panel and bounce against the wall.
For lower frequencies, it’s even like there wasn’t any acoustic panel. Lower frequencies carry a lot of energy and you need a lot of porous absorber to even start slowing them down.
The panels behind my speakers are membrane based (they target mainly lower frequencies).
The distance between my front-wall and the front of my speakers is ~1 meter.
Thanks for reply I find a meter works well from the wall but I like to get as near field as I can so I can get 6f off the speakers before I hit center of room.
