Because you are using Dipoles, as a first step I would make the back wall perpendicular with Diffusors.At the bottom 2.5 metres from
The front wall.. top of the speakers around 1 metre.. but can easily put them 1 metre more in the room..
In understand what your are saying.. don’t touch the ceiling.. but absorb low to the floor.. the boxes I inted to make I could easily place em on the floor against the sidewalls.. the lowest point of the windows is 110 cm..
Question is : does this create similar effect ?
Or you could use ZR Acoustics panels behind your dipoles in which case you wouldn't have to worry about making the wall perpendicular or need to add any absorptive material.Because you are using Dipoles, as a first step I would make the back wall perpendicular with Diffusors.
This is important for the backwave from your Dipoles not to be directed towards the floor but perpendicular back into the room. The space behind the Diffusors, you can use to place quite a lot of Absorption there.
Because of the dipole radiation pattern (cylinder wave) of your speakers, they send very little sound to the floor and ceiling anyways.
I would do that and then listen for some time to re-evaluate the room.
Only one measure after the other with enough time to get acquainted with your sound between the steps.

Diffusion requires lots of space to work properly. From your photo it looks like your speakers might have to be too close to the wall behind them for diffusers, and it also looks like the sloped side beams/walls might interfere with diffusion. If that is the case then you are better off trying to focus on reducing/eliminating reflections, hence my recommendation of the ZR panels.putting diffusers behind the dipoles.. won't this result in the sound going everywhere ? so mounting diffusers perpendicular or on the sloped wall.... is there actually is a difference ?
Are
are they Magnapan speakers?
Yes two very different sounding loudspeakers.no.. Diptyque DP-160
@Addicted to hifi : I have now - like you might know - the Cornwall on test. The thing thatI miss with the Cornwalls is the sheer immediacy/impact of instruments I get with the Diptyques.
In my opinion the imaging is also much better with the Diptyque.
The Cornwalls present a forward soundstage that seems to come to you... whereas with the Diptyques you always want to sit on the edge of your chair/sofa because the music seems to play between the speakers..
Different.. but both excellent none the less..Yes two very different sounding loudspeakers.
Excellent idea to keep Both.i use klipsch and Magnapan speakers and swap them over for a change in sound.Different.. but both excellent none the less..
One makes you hear details in good recordings you don’t hear with many other speakers ( Diptyque) there is this intimate connection to the music. In particular with accoustic music.
the other makes even bad recordings sound good ( Cornwall ) with nice palpatable bass and great dynamics. It’s a speaker than can become your friend in a very short time.
Actually I d like to keep em both
isnt there a speaker that combines these qualities ??
Not one speaker that I have heard can do everything,that’s why i have 2 different speaker systems.Different.. but both excellent none the less..

What do you use most ? Do you use different amps ? And what music do you prefer on the maggies ?Not one speaker that I have heard can do everything,that’s why i have 2 different speaker systems.
I use a mcintosh mc152 150 watt amplifier on the la Scalas and a mcintosh mc462 450 watt on the magnapan 30.7s. i like the klipsch for pop and rock music and the Maggie’s for classical,jazz and acoustic and vocal music.i use the klipsch more than the Maggie’s but I love both of them.What do you use most ?
