We have a horrible mess of reflections here in the living room. I think what would help me the most is visiting others' solutions and pick and choose what my wife will be ok with to fix our place.

Since it's a living room and you wouldn't want acoustic panels on the walls, hang a tapestry on the rear wall behind the listening position. Worked great for me.
Plus, definitely drapes and rugs.

Gimme a break. Is there *any* scientific evidence proving the effectiveness of these dots? I've yet to see any.

And as for folks sprinkling dots on their speakers drivers - this has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Speaker engineers spend countless hours endeavoring to reduce the mass of their drivers. And some audiophile comes along and ruins their science by *adding* mass to the drivers.

If these dots really provided *any* benefit, don't you think that the speaker engineers would use them? Have you *ever* seen a speaker that came with dots from the factory?

Think about it...
