Anyway, just be aware they are bigger than you think when you get them into your room!

Some people actually choose to get them all the way to the ceiling, but I think that would only look good in a fairly large room or behind very large speakers.
Thanks, I'm deciding in the next few days everything else I will get to complete the treatments. I played around with covering the monitor with another 23-inch inch square absorber panel last night. It seemed to improve things a bit, I'm going to order a 6th matching panel and leave it in front of the monitor when listening. It will easily slide sideways under the desk when I'm using the computer. My plan with the bass traps is to store them in the closet when I'm not listening. I even have an idea on the left side to open the closet door and keep that trap permanently in that closet it might widen the room a bit because the right side currently has a lot more space than the left. I just have to decide if I want to go with tri traps or with soffit traps and how high to go. My living room has 9-foot ceilings and I have a single 4 foot soffit trap on each front corner and they actually work great by themselves. So the option would be either 48inch I could go up to 70 or so, which would require a slightly smaller custom height for the one of the traps on each side of the stack. This is the closet I may put the left traps in, I'm not sure how this would sound. 20181003_201955.jpeg
