Glenn, I've spoken with some of the top acousticians on the planet and the idea of too much bass trapping not only happens, its common. And Teale zaps rooms with MLS noise, but I don't give a shit about MLS noise, I play music through the speakers and listen! Then I'll have the guy do a quick mix. Too much bass trapping often finds a drop starting at 250Hz. The positioning of speakers and mix position in the room can alter this as well. Finding a good spot in the room is the hardest thing to do imo. And I agree about the high end.. although rigid fiberglass and mineral wool are less dampening on the highs then foam, too much can lead to a dull sound coming from your monitors. However, the dampening of high end due to over absorption would not lead to the sense of less lows, but more lows actually.
