| Re: HT acoustic treatments? Yes, I know. I design studios too. Trust me, you don't have the room to splay the walls enough to do more than mess up calculations. To make a dent, you'd lose about 28" of width at the front of the room. Not worth it. It would cramp the screen, mess up speaker placement, etc. Remember, studios are NEARFIELD listening environments. This is not.
Also, even though that gets rid of direct slap, it still does nothing to reduce decay times. That just requires absorbtion. You'll still have standing waves, just a matter of where they are and at what frequency. There are also other modes which involve 4 and 6 surfaces.
Sorry
I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.
