My experience with room treatments is not good. You fix one problem and cause others. I feel that most friends I have that have done room treatments have sucked the life out of there systems. I like live rooms and the bass responce in my room is really quite good.

Corner bass traps don't kill a room. The corners of a room are not reflection points, but they are places where bass builds up the most in a room. Reflection point absorbers would kill a room and I'm sure many treated rooms suffer this fate. I find (just) corner bass traps clean up the bass so well that the mids and highs sound a lot cleaner too, and therefore things seem livelier in a sense.

    GIK Acoustics and Real Traps both make dedicated triangular shaped corner bass traps. I have product from both and Real Traps is a better build and finished product, but also more expensive. Performance wise, I'm not sure which ones are better, and it would depend on how much coverage you're using. By the looks/size of your room, I'd say the smaller/narrower GIK would work well. I'd go with four of them if you can swing it. One in each corner. I do have 4 of the GIK corner traps myself, and they work great. Friends have remarked about how smooth the overall frequency response is in my room. And I've taken the corner traps to one persons place and they did their magic there too. A pair of them costs about as much as a pair of entry level cables, and provide far more benefit.
