With respect to adding more panels, also consider adding GIK Acoustics Alpha 4A panels.

You can also get them in different wood and fabric colors. They are also are considerably less expensive than the Aperture panels, a set of four is only $316.

This photo shows one of them along my front wall, but there are actually six of them in the room, including at the first reflection point.



Very highly recommended.
Thanks Stephen....they do look great. I just ordered 2 Aperture II Panels from Ivan and will also include the GIK's as well when budget permits.
