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!

@keeferdog, @buzz has the answer. And if you don’t feel comfortable using REW right now, even it’s free it’s not trivial to use, start by making a drawing with all the measurements of your room and your speaker placement and send that into GIK and they have a free consulting service.

An REW MDAT file would certainly help a lot, but in lieu of that you can get going without it.

Of course, GIK hopes that you will order some bass traps and diffusers from them,  and they have good products, but you’re not obligated to and they certainly will give you good advice.
