Room Treatment Help


I just moved to the DFW area and drew the short straw for the wife assigned small 10 x 12 x 9’ soon to become, dedicated listening room. It’s in dire need of treatment as there’s a weird resonance, echo sound when clapping your hands. I’ve tried LRS + and open baffle speakers (Spatial Audio Lab)  with a nice tube pre and both tube and ss amps. I’m just not happy with the room acoustics. I know I need help and realize small rooms are inherently tough to get good sound. My question is, where in the world do I start? GIK, Primacoustic, Acoustic Fields (Dennis Foley- this guy makes sense) etc? There are tons of YouTube vids out there, I’ve probably watched most of them but the topic is as confusing as trying to come up with end game components for an audiophile. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and experiences as they are highly appreciated!

My room is somewhat similar (13x14) and have got 11 GIK 244s (some with the wood things on the front - I forget what they're called) and other just bass traps. Two stacked in each front corner, three along the front wall in the middle, two at the 1st/2nd reflection points and two on the ceiling. And since my head is pretty close to the back wall, I took a few unused down comforters and folded them into a box to place behind my head.

I have quite a good selection of speakers and the treatment seems to work pretty well with just about all of them. 

Like others have suggested, I'd just contact GIK and send them a photo of your room and they will make suggestions as to which of their products will more than likely work well for your listening room. I bought my treatments a few years back and the prices were reasonable. The shipping sucked, however.
