Andre,
I just went back and reviewed some earlier posts on this thread and had a question. I understand if the speakers are not flush mounted, you cannot create an RFZ in a small room like mine without the use of absorption in the first reflection points because there will automatically be reflections directed back at the mix pos. that are less than 20ms behind the direct sound. Right?

The other half of that thought is, if you DO flush mount the speakers, my theory is you can make ONLY the REAR wall absorptive and still establish an RFZ (without absorption on the front wall), even in a room as small as mine will be. (Assuming the rear wall is 100% absorptive). Correct?


I figure with flush mounting, the only reflections hitting the side walls will be from the opposite side speaker, and will be directed to the back of the room and absorbed.

Let me know if I'm wrong, this is what has me thinking I should consider flush mounting.
