Heh, nah, what I meant by luck was you being able to drop the Moabs in where the Talons were originally or thereabouts. On other threads I've read folks talk about struggling with placement after supposedly having the previous pair dialed in. So, if it took you a few days even, LUCKY!
Yeah, finding the right spot is a pain but also fun. I remember girlfriends at the time struggling to understand why I kept moving the speakers, the couch, the orientation of the whole room, the pages of measurements, the tape on the floor, and my alleged obsession with certain tracks. The Maggies have been the most forgiving between rooms, no dynamic speaker I've owned has been as easy to setup. Getting the Moabs setup is going to be interesting. I've read mostly that they aren't hard to setup, but then I've read a couple of reports that they were a bit difficult, however, the writing had some questionable or conflicting content so I'm not so sure what was going on there.
So about those traps/absorbers. I was leaning more towards Roxul Safe N Sound. By the numbers it should perform better than OC 703, even taking into account the 1" difference in thickness. I'm aiming to do early reflection treatment and corner treatment. I'm not sure how crazy I'm going to get, but my wife is in full support (we're both IT engineers). I have a health concern with fiberglass existing outside of the wall. The cats although they are pretty good with sticking to their scratching posts and such, and my wife had a bad experience with the stuff, so I'm going to sidestep that whole discussion and go for the Safe N Sound. We're okay with the thickness. I started ordering GIK 5 1/4" absorbers and saw the cost getting out of control along with the shipping costs and wait time. I need a project outside of work and saving a few bucks is really nice as well. Money towards a DAC perhaps.
