Hi, My rear wall is 7 feet behind my listening position. I have read that 10 feet distance is needed to allow diffusion to properly open up. Does this mean I should be looking toward absorbtion or no treatment for the rear wall? Some back ground info: I have done a sonic evaluation using REW software
to determine the placement of my speakers and listening position. To my pleasant surprise the predicted locations matched the analysis after placement: The predictive model was correct based on my room size. My room is 21’2″ wide and 28′ 4″ wide. 15 foot vaulted ceiling in the middle which starts at 8 foot on each end of the room. It’s about 6900 cubic feet.

R, at 7′ distance from diffuser face to chair you can use the QD-13. At 10′ , the QD-17.

Would my room sound too dead if I use absorption on the front, sides and rear, and maybe even ceiling?
My room is 15x11x8 ft.

W, Not if you use the correct rate and level of absorption for music and voice. Don’t even think of using building insulation.
