again guys, the info has been immensely helpful.
I had quite a brainstorming session the last 2 days. loads of ideas, 90% of them probably crap.

The useful thing I've done was to get more measurements of the new room.
Basically I'm thinking of two things now.

Either

1. Fake walls using this shelf at 35° angles, stuffed with extra dense Rockwool 4" staples, achieving depth of about 15":

This would help with Reflections and wall to wall waves due to alternating broadband absorption and reflection off the wooden surface (or i could sneak in some reflecting surfaces in front of every 2nd RockwoolCell).

Or

2.
various DIY broadband absorbers on stands, alternating heights, alternating thickness for side walls.

By the way, the rear wall has a door on the left, the corner is too small for a real broad band absorber, would you recommend somethiing like a TubeTrap or does the door opening take care of escaping bass?
I'm actually planning on removing the "standard" door and replacing it with a frame stuffed with.. surprise surprise - rockwool.

So guys, am I going insane or is there something there?
