This will be my third project studio build. I've relocated to Italy and am building in a farmhouse (think old, thick stone walls). Due to the joys of Italian bureaucracy and new building codes, I'm quite hamstrung on my ability to frame out a front wall to create an RFZ.
So my thought was to create a set of reinforced frames with a (semi) reflective front. Imagine a box but with only one heavy, hard side and the rest of its is open framing filled with fiber (open, not closed, to prevent box resonance).
I would place these along the front wall to create the desired angles, and flush my JBL6332s within the wall by using one "box" as a plinth on which to set the speaker and another as a cap to cover the space above the speaker. The frames would be filled with mineral fiber or similar to serve as trapping for the area between the actual stone wall and the "fake" front wall to reduce resonance and trap bass in the corners. I would presumably also weight the frames to avoid resonance, buzzing, etc.
The benefits for me are - (1) no permitting at all, because it's all just furniture, and (2) it's all adjustable, so if I don't like the way things are going, I could change angles, add or remove trapping, etc.
My question for the forum is: has anyone tried something like this who could offer advice on whether this is even a feasible strategy? And if so, are there lessons learned that I could use?
Thanks in advance and I apologize if I've accidentally gotten off to a bad start here.
