Room Treatment: Whatcha Got?

As I learn (Bertrand Russel would say 'as I expand my ignorance') I'm developing a different question to ask of audiophile friends. [ought I say phriends? No!]

Now, instead of asking what gear they listen to, or if they like vinyl, I'm really interested in their room; is it treated, or not? And what technique(s) / how much time is invested in setting up?

That's it: despite the current cover of Stereophile, size no longer matters to me, neither do components at this point. I don't even care about CD / TT until I've learned what effort a listener has put into working the room.

What's your story?

I have ASC 1/4 rounds in the corners from floor to ceiling behind the speakers, ASC tube traps on rear wall and side walls behind speakers. An ASC 1/4 round in rear corner behind listening futon, other rear corner is open via a door. RPG studio foam panels at first reflection points from floor to upper mid level. Room has wall to wall carpeting. Speakers are set up semi diagonally in the room.

Michael Greens corner traps in all 4 ceiling corners and MG corner strips midway along the wall/ceiling.
ASC 1/4 rounds are augmented by Teknasonics vibration absorbers and the whole room is treated with Golden Sound Acoustic discs.

The room was an acoustic nightmare before treatment but is now neutral from top to bottom while not being completely dead.
