Randy and Mike, probably the single most reason I'm thinking about the panels is to spice up the back wall behind the speakers and thought no more than what a couple of these panels cost I would then kill two birds with one stone...in a very tasteful manner, mind you.
Mike I haven't tried the house plant wrapped in a wool blanket trick yet but I did stack about four or five big bed pillows (don't tell the wife!) in each corner and couldn't tell much of a difference but I also didn't spend much time with it either. I'm thinking the traps/panels may tighten the bass up just a smidgen, probably nothing worth mentioning though...who knows.
