The primary reason I haven't gone for the large tube traps is that my girlfriend would blow a gasket. It's already bad enough with 5' horns and a pair of subwoofers sticking 5+ ft. out into the living room, can't imagine what those large traps would do.
I'm looking to tear out those windows on the left and build in a walled corner like the other side with a centered window on the rear wall. I can then use heavy curtains for the reflection point behind the speakers.
But, using the Cathedrals and the much thinner tube traps like in the PF review is definitely do-able. I also need some diffusers for the 1st reflection points.
I've got two fairly large suck-outs at 30-45Hz & 55-72Hz. This might be the result of bass overloads. I know I can walk around my room with an SPL meter and find "hotspots" that are If the Cathedrals could significantly drop that >70Hz rise, things might fall into fairly nice balance.
The Cathedrals are perfect for this back wall which extends 5 feet out over my dining room. Guaranteed to have high pressure zones in the corners with those bare walls. The dog is strategically placed to absorb reflections from the floor.
