I will do some more experimenting with door between left speaker open as you suggested. I guess I could just pull out french door and leave open. I hestitate to leave closet open as vibrations seem to effect equipment, although I will even try that (maybe just for a minute though).
I experimented with putting a sound plank between amps. It did bring central image into focus, but also seemed to pull in other instruments making soundstage smaller. It was similar to when I change from vinyl to cd (soundstage only, not commenting on sound of the 2 sources). I tried it back and forth over several songs. At first it was weird looking at the plank between speakers so I closed my eyes and just listened. I don't know if it was that I'm already listening at near nearfield position, so compression of soundstage, might have been overemphasized. Anyway, ultimately I liked it better closer to rear wall.
As for my original question do you know of a good material to cover whole wall? I don't think the drape thing would work with the 3 doors there. And if I removed drywall (would probably do a couple feet of adjacent walls also) could I get rid of tube traps and only have the wall a rear treatment.
Thanks again for all your help!
