Re: Not that an anechoic response is very enjoyable

This is a common misconception. In most cases, adding bass traps actually increases the level of perceived bass. Adding traps always makes the response flatter (and clearer), so at frequencies and locations where there had been a peak the level is reduced, and likewise nulls are increased in level.
