Funny but they are a mile away from my home… I think I will be using them as the do have a lot of selection, much more then audio companies do. Also, these prices are a bit better…

Romy,

I do not have room acoustics background. However, I would also recommend experimenting with sound diffusion panels. Currently, I have a low ceiling basement listening room and I got the 14 pack of Q'Fusors and spread them on the ceiling. The sound became less harsh, with a more natural decaying of notes, and an improvement of spaciousness. It was beneficial in my case, in one word, more natural sounding.

They are pretty inexpensive (~$230 for 14), light (styrofoam), easy to mount and paintable. They diffuse down to 1Khz.

some nice rooms here but Wes is pretty expensive, min $50k for the proper room setup. Although he can refer to a more reasonably priced acoustic consultants. I will be working with one and post my impressions.
