I would expect that the reflection/absorbtion qualities of the
wall behind the speakers to be less important than the qualities
of the walls, floor, and ceiling immediately in front of the speakers.
(for "conventional" speakers only, this doesn't apply to Bose,
Magnapan, etc)  How solid the wall is will effect the bass.
Solid walls such as concrete, are prefered to flimsy walls, such
as 1/8 inch paneling tacked to 2x4s.

[ People looking for an argument will please note the difference
between saying "less important" and "totally unimportant".
Thank you. ]
