Why do the speakers have to be flush with the treatments? What difference will it make if they remain flush with the drywall? Can the treatments be beveled down toward the speakers? If the speakers are flush with the treatments by building them out won't that affect the performance of them, because of the enclosures?
The problem is that the panels will absorb on the sides as well, killing the horz and vert dispersion of your speakers. Beveling will help, but will be tough with oc703 to make it look good. You'll need to bevel and then finish the edged with some sort of resin to give it a hard edge.

You're best bet is probably just avoiding treatment within 3-4 inches of the speakers.
