Do I have to take the angle of the speaker's front baffle into consideration, such as when toed-in, when determining reflection points? Or just the physical speaker encloser?
There's an Acoustic forum over at Audiocircle as I know you frequent there. There's several manufacturers that are very kind and helpful even if you don't buy their products.
Don't forget bass traps. Doing your room acoustics will create a major upgrade that most of us hadn't anticipated and wouldn't do without again.
Just don't over-treat your room. It's a common mistake. Start small with 1st reflection points, then experiment with absorptive/diffusive or both kinds of materials to treat front wall. Bass traps help with coloration of lover frequencies and will smooth-out a boomy bass in problematic rooms ( I use Echobusters phase 4 for their flexibility. One side is a diffuser and the other is absorber). In my opinion this would be a good start. Later you can try treating a back wall. In my newly constructed room I have used a 1/4inch natural cork tiles to cover entire back wall & few shelves with books as a natural diffusers. Treating a ceiling is another matter, but not many are willing to go the extra mile. Email me if you have any specific questions. I will try to help you if I can. Good luck & happy listening.
I don't really have any corners to speak of, and since my room is large enough I've been told off-line by a knowledgable person that I don't have typical small-room bass issues, but I do have an 8' free standing wall about 3' behind my head I think I will address. To this point, thank you all for your assistance. It really helps to hear from folks who've lived through these experiences.
