Aborbers proximity to walls and speaker

I reread what i wrote and it seems a bit confusing

Right now one of my absorbers is in the same plane as my speaker wondering if this effects what i'm hearing
If you take a look at my system page you will see the absorber to the rights location
I have moved my speakers forward one foot to get them out of that alcove

Hence my initial question is having absorption to close a bad thing or a good thing ?

Hi I think it really depends. Expiramentation might be best. Also, usually at first reflection folks us diffusion, like rpg bad arc panels. I am in the middle of a rives room project...

However, given your room, maybe it's ok. I might try diffussors of some sort also...

Sorry its not a easy answer...

Thanks for your input
Anybody else care to comment I won't bite -)

Jfrech...just finished a Rives design...email me at jwwaudio24@hotmail if you would like to share.

my room is 12'wide and the center of my speakers are 18" to the wall and 16" from the 242 to center of my speakers.
You seem to have alot more room on the side walls than I do.
The 242's(even with my limited width) do a lot for cleaning the music.Aren't the 242's 4"depth.
