Room Treatment Question

I am currently considering room treatment options and have a number of questions I was hoping others could answer.
1. Is bass absorption required for my Ariel Transmission line speakers? I know that transmission line speakers "energize" the room, would corner absorbtion eliminate too much bass?
2. I am considering complete mid and treble treatment with Auralex foam products. I am considering the 4" wedge sheets on the walls and ceiling in the hotspots (primary reflection points) and 1" or 2" (help with thickness please) foam panels on the rest of the walls and ceiling. Would this be an effective setup?
3. How does the performance of Auralex foam (4" for the sake of argument) compare to the DIY 8" fiberglass discussed here in the past. I know that the foam is supposed to be flush mounted (per the Auralex web site), and the DIY panels are supposed to be at least 4" away from walls. Any assistance here would be appreciated.
My goal is to create as absorbative a room as possible for mid and treble, and work on base control if it is needed or reccomended.
