Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room?

Curious - has anyone tried the 901's in an acoustically treated room?  If so, your thoughts?

I've thought about trying out my 901's in my music room, but since it's got a bunch of GIK acoustic treatment throughout, I've never done it.  I think the Bose needs a more reflective set of walls behind and to the sides.  

But I think I'm going to give it a try soon and just wanted to see if anyone else has done the same (and are willing to admit to it publicly). 

Cheers.

The perceived spectral balance of the Bose 901 is dominated by the spectral balance of the reflected sound, and IF the acoustic treatments in the room absorb the short wavelengths (high frequencies) moreso than they absorb the longer wavelengths, THEN the perceived spectral balance will be degraded accordingly.

To put it another way, if you go with acoustic treatments, I would suggest using products which deliberately PRESERVE the spectral balance of the reflected energy.
