I can't believe the difference acoustical treatments have made to my system. I received some Tri-corners and 242s from GIK Acoustics ( http://www.gikacoustics.com/index.html ) today. I was having all kinds of weird room relection effects, in my stereo room, since I moved into the new house. There was a harshness and a too alive sound to my system, that I was hoping could be fixed via some treatments. I did some research and decided that some GIK treatments suited my needs. After sending them pictures of my room, I ordered their small room package and waited. I then received an email from one of their people who suggested that the package I ordered may not be the best choice for my situation. He suggested I rearrange my room and then add the products I listed above, instead. Please note that the items he suggested cost less than what I had already ordered! Clearly, they (GIK) are dedicated to getting better sound for me, not just making money. He said I would more than likely hear some improvement just by rearranging the room. He was right. Now, I'm still playing with where to place the 242s, but just standing on the floor behind each speaker and at the first reflection point on the left sidewall and with the Tri-corners in the front two bottom corners, what I'm hearing is amazing. Increased definition at all noticeable frequencies, much, much better bass and much decreased shrillness. Basically, the sound is like I purchased much bigger MLs and spent a lot more money on the electronics. Color me happy!
