The urge to create a unity of treatment and stylistic choices aside...
I know the that any room treatment can make a reverb chamber sound like a great place to listen. But when not having any speakers that literally beam in two directions (electrostatic ones or a multi speaker setup e.g.), what is the reason the facing wall behind the speakers should be treated?
Most speakers beam forward and when a wave is absorbed in the direction it is going, it will not return to the wall the speaker is facing.
The best reason I could come up with is that the room is ready for any temporary multiple speaker dolby setup which absolutely makes sense in a studio. But other than that...
enlighten me
