I have a 16' wide x 5' high knee wall about 8' behind the listening position. The knee wall transitions to a 12/12 pitch ceiling that flattens out at 10' high. The angled portion of the ceiling is 7' "long" by the 16' width of the room (what's the trig term for the "z" of a right triangle? memory is failing me).
I'm sure there are reflections being bounced back into the room and towards the listening position from the angled ceiling (however, the presentation is quite good as it is now).
I am researching foam sheets/panels and such, and thought about building a couple of treated partitions that I could put behind the listening position while I am in the (semi-dedicated) room, then move them out of the way when I am not.
The other option would be to treat the reflective surfaces.
I could probably save a few bucks by building partitions, and I would not have to worry about mounting to the angled ceiling. But I am curious as to what affect each approach would have on the soundstaging and presentation. Anyone have experiece with either approach or both?
This is my first semi-dedicated room, and one that the wife spends VERY little time in, so WAF is not a concern (woohoo).
Looking forward to some insight! TIA...
