How to diagnose the need for room treatment?


I have my stereo setup in the family living room (30x14x8 ft). I have done some work around speaker placement, and treating 1st reflection points, but don't know if I need to do more. I often read room treatment being crucial. So while my system sounds good to me (I'm new at this), it might be able to sound a lot better.

How can I come up with a diagnose, short of trial and error of every posibility?

Thanks!

You've played with speaker position and you've dealt with the first reflection points (including floor bounce?) and in your opinion it sounds good. If that's the case, then don't go any further. It's not that you couldn't improve the sound quality, but go to the above websites graciously listed by Rodman and look at the products they offer. Then ask yourself whether you really want them in your living room? I suspect the answer will be self-evident.
