Good for more than one trick,

Thanks. That is my main concern. My thought was that if we only did a small wall we would be able to get a pretty aggressive sound by placing the kit in front of the stone wall. On the other hand, if we wanted less of that sound we could place the kit at the other and of the room and use gobos to tighten the kit as needed. Does this seem reasonable? We really do want the room to be versatile as well as "big" sounding.

Also, I'm not sure how much of the gaps created by the angles I need to use for bass traps. In the plans I have storage in the top two corners. Should I consider using those areas for bass traps also?
