Thanks Brian, the other side will look a lot more regular as it were but I have plans too implement an effective wall mounted panel.

So the room acoustic treatment evaluation continues and I have tried adding asorbtion panels at the early reflecting points established primarily by using a mirror whilst sitting at the listening position. Listening evaluation once again confirms the benefit for just utilising first reflection panels with much better soundstage both in depth and width and once again far better imaging.
I found this article this afternoon which confirms exactly what I am hearing.

When I have everything finished in situ and sorted I will post up pics. I am hoping to use Room EQ Wizard to evaluate room properly but I just need to get hold of a microphone off a friend!

Another excellent article on room treatment. All of these can be found within the RealTraps website I linked to earlier.

Tried the 38% rule last last night and moved speakers forward a little. In order to get a much better sound I would actually need to put a chair in the middle of my room with a perfect equilateral triangle but this would look stupid in my current room set up. However when I am on my own listening I may try this on occasion.
It means I would almost be near field listening in the room and I have a plan how I may achieve this with a simple radical change to the room which I am going to try. It will probably change radically how my whole system sounds but I will give it a go even though it will look bonkers. I will set it up later today when the house is empty and give it a go and post some pics up.
