yes the early reflections thing I think I can deal with... As for the suggestion of closing up the low side a bit - very good idea indeed, however in my case it would shorten the allready quite box-like room.. I will simply do freq checks without treatment, both on the short and high sides to see what's more booming. Then I'll start gathering designs for bass traping. The real-traps look fantaastic, however I'm afraid shipment alone will cost me about 500-700 euro if I want a kit.

Perhaps I can do some DIY for corner bass-traping and get regular waffles and hi-freq absorbers for softening the ceiling and walls at reflection spots.

To be quite honest I'd prefer the smallest possible triangle with the JBL's, I listen at low volume most of the time, and found the depth to increase dramatically with enough distance to boundary walls. After all they're nearfields and designed to tolerate less-than-treated situations, provided the distance to the listener is short enough relative to reflections.
