Hey all,
I was wondering if an object (plants, books, etc.) will influence the sound quality of the speakers if they are placed on them. I have seen photos in this sub, where people are doing it, and I was also wondering if I could place plants on my speakers for aesthetic reasons.
Strangely enough, house plants are astonishingly effective as sound diffusers. On top, to either side, between speakers and at the points of first relection along the walls of a room are where they most count. Yes, crazy expensive sound diffusers and absorbers are more effective, but aren’t anywhere near as esthetically appealing as lplants can be. They won’t cure acoustical problems but they can go a long way to ameliorate them in a very pleasing way. For bass frequencies, they’re not as effective.
