But there are things you can take from those experiments and apply to control room shapes that don't look like coffins. They took their design goals to the extreme, trying to avoid needing any treatment at all. Think about a hybrid approach. I've designed several rooms using a mix of these principles. You can fit into existing rectangular structures easily, expand the RFZ, ease mode calculations with the rectangular outer shell, and it can work well for surround. I've referenced a few in past threads. My joke name for them is "wedgie wall," though "wedged wall" may be more appropriate for mixed company. I don't use this technique always, but it really works well as a solution under certain criteria.
Here's a link to an old post with links to a few example rooms:
