Well, folks I think I solved the complex room treatment challenges...... by removing the *$(%@ treatments altogether. From the effects I was getting, it's hard for me to see how these absorbtion treatments can have any benefit. I'd still be open to experimenting with tube traps and defraction type treatments (although those two seem like pricey experiments compared to the cheap foam), and I'm still of the opinion that room set (especially speaker placement) up can have a huge impact on sound quality. That said, I think I'm done with this foam stuff. Thanks to all for the suggestions though. Cheers,
Outlier.
