I currently have 68% coverage on 5 walls with your terrific foam . I also have 6 BDA‘s with your carbon with 4 on front wall and they’re basically 2×4 ft tall.
I will be building diffusers for the front wall but I feel starting them from 4ft off the floor is too high, as you generally recommend them at 2ft.
Will I be sacrificing the power of my BDA‘s being behind my diffusers?
Also, will I still need your foam as the front cover of my BDA seeing that the top 2 ft will be blocked by the diffusers?

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and making us realize how room acoustics can have such a profound effect on the music we listen to.

Placing diffusers in front of BDA units will have no impact on the BDA to absorb lower frequency pressure. However, the foam face will be blocked by the diffusers and will inhibit air flow and reduce performance
