If the speakers were dipoles, that
might be an issue. But to these ears, the front-wall trap configuration doesn't deaden, darken, or close up the sonic presentation. To the contrary--and this may seem counterintuitive--there's more ambient and upper-frequency "air" evident in well-recorded program with the new "mini" traps in place. I attribute that to the clearing out of low-end "mud" that obscured to at least some degree what was occurring further up the frequency ladder.
Note that the room isn't quite 'enry 'iggins' undiscovered tomb. Scatter-plated 244s are on the rear wall, and the closet to my listening-position right is fronted by wood-slatted folding doors that also provide some scattering.
