Hello, and thanks for taking the time to read this.
I'm looking to get started on basic room treatment. By that I mean absolutely no secondary reflection points, but certainly hit a few primary spots, as well as minor bass treatment depending on budget.
Ideally, I'd prefer to spend no more than $300 at this time, but an upper limit of $500 is maybe doable.
Goals from this project (and the order of importance to me based on what information I understand thus far) would be:
1) Dialog clarity.
2) Front soundstage clarity
3) Front soundstage imaging
4) Bass decay time improvement.
5) Rear soundstage clarity.
I know that GIK has a representative that posts in this area, but all things considered, I am not partial to any particular product manufacturer - I have to think about wallet size here too. Thus I have also looked at products from:

Depending on complexity, I could also perhaps be coaxed into a DIY project. Though keep in mind on that route...my carpentry experience is sorely lacking.
Thanks again, hope the pictures help.
