along that wall. Is speech in front of one of your units clearer or does
the diffuser add some strange effects close up, like 1-2m away ?

In the living room we have a pair great (2' by 4') QRD7 and some skylines and Flutterfree kind of diffusers along with GIK 242 and 244 panels. The room(5 x 6 x 2.7 meters) have all concrete walls and ceiling and a hardwoodenfloor. Without treatment it sound horrible and harsh. One of the first things I put in there was GIK panels and the great sized QRD. Both helped a lot.
The last things I made were those 'antiflutters' and that's really the 'finishing touch' for music and speeche.
Last Christmas we had the family here with some 80+
with hearing aid and they always had trouble to follow the conversation mostly by the 'reverbpickup' and the 'directions' in the room of the spoken words. We put some extra GIK panels and diffusers from the studio in the room and after dinner we asked if they noticed something during the conversations. The 80+ers all said no
; they just participated with conversations as they used to do. Then suddenly they realised that was not the case in the previous years.
