No, robd2, as indicated earlier in the thread, I'd tried the scatter-plated 244s at only the second reflection points. And thought full-range 244s in that position elicited "better" performance from the system.
However, I conducted that audition before finishing up the acoustic treatment with the DIY panels covering the jewel cases...and making a number of component changes (replacing the active preamp with a passive, upgrading the adapter connecting the Uptone Audio REGEN to my USB DAC, replacing the standard USB 3.0 cable connecting the music-source external drive to the laptop with a Wireworld Starlight, slipping Stillpoints UltraMinis under the laptop, DAC, and amp, and--as of this coming Tuesday--replacing my old Tara speaker cable with Blue Jeans/Belden 10-gauge).
Once the new speaker cable settles in, I'll give the scatter-plated 244s a go at the first reflection points and maybe again at the second reflection points to see what, if any, changes I hear. I don't know the precise auditioning timeline, as I'm now neck-deep in a murder mystery I started writing in July and am spending most of my time these days working on that.
If I hear any changes that I consider improvements with a repositioning of the scatter-plates at either reflection point, I'll post here.
