Well now that I have all 7 speakers done I've started to work on the actual theater room. Originally I was planning to not build a false wall on the front stage so that I would have more flexibility with speaker placement for tuning purposes. Well the wife has looked at a bunch of pictures of finished theaters and she prefers the stealth look. I have a fair amount of room to play with regards to stage depth but I don't want the speakers so far from the wall that I have to build the false wall 3-4 feet from the rear wall leaving a huge sunken effect where the screen resides. I am planning to build large frames covered in speaker grill type cloth. So.... Any thoughts on speaker distance on the A/V-3 towers to the rear wall? I was just playing them while moving them around and I didn't hear a ton of variation when they were within 3 inches of the wall and 2 feet away. The bass was more prominant when they were closer though. The other thing to keep in mind is I plan to treat the entire wall where the stage will be with something like OC 703 or another material. Any recommendations on acoustic materials for a dude on a serious budget? As for side wall distance they will be a minimum of 3-4 feet away.
Thanks in advance!
