It seems like the acoustic panels always take a backseat in this project. I have the materials to button up the front of the room and after I complete that, I can stand back to access exactly what's needed. I recall seeing the panels being sold in packs of 3. That should take care of the first reflection points for the MTS-01's and I'll mount one under the TV.

Can't speak for others, but our particular products come in singles, pairs, and 3's depending on the product. 242 wall reflection panels and front wall panels come in 3's. Tri Traps, and 244's come in pairs. Monsters come singly. Purely a matter of maximizing the space in a shipping box for minimal cost.
The thing I'd be concerned about in that room is getting enough broadband bass control since you can't use the front corners. I'd also very strongly recommend lining the cavities where the speakers reside with at least 2" thick absorption all around to keep cavity resonances down to a minimum.

This is what I'd like to do with the front corners...
At the bottom of each rack, there's an area (on the 45* face) where I planned to mount a custom panel. In addition, the removable panels that will allow access behind the racks and TV can support a custom acoustic panel. There's plenty of spots behind and on the sides of the mains where I can mount custom acoustic panels. I just need the materials to build them.

Carpet was installed today! Looks SOOOO much better. I'll work on trimming out the front of the room tomorrow, I realize the TV wall still looks awful so lots to do.

Installed trim around the one window in the room... Obviously the blinds have to go in favor of a darker and more classy window treatment.

I gots to get me some of that carpet stuff. I have had full autonomy on the HT so far but it seems that I am picking up lots of WAF static on the carpet decision.
Sometimes I wish we lived in a place where you went to the carpet store and they said, ok.. there is the carpet. It comes in these three colors, that is the only carpet that is available. Period.
