My philosophy is to absorb first reflections for all speakers in a system. The problem with early reflections is they create a skewed frequency response known as comb filtering - a series of many peaks and deep nulls. If you don't want a badly skewed response for your mains, I can't see why you'd want that for the surrounds either.

Is this your methodology for all forms of treatment? What about a two channel system in which the off axis response of the speaker is near identical to that of the axial response?

It has been shown through perceptual research that these first reflections actually increase enjoyment. Would you recommend treating anyways, if so why?
