Hi Ethan
After I did read some information from your web ( When the budget allows for dedicated construction, early reflections can be avoided by angling the side walls and sloping the ceiling upward. The control room at left was designed by noted studio designer Wes Lachot, and offers a beautiful example of such construction. Given a large enough angle - at least 35 degrees - the reflections are directed behind the listening position without having to apply absorbing materials to the walls or ceiling. This lets you better control the overall ambience in the room because you don't need additional absorption just to get rid of the reflections. But most people do not have the luxury of building new walls, so the only option is to apply absorption at key locations.)
From your professional opinion which way you will perfer?
