I knew room treatments were in my future.

For those of you that have been following my posts. I bought a new house, leaving my great 24' square listening room of 36 years. The best prospect is the basement room 12'x 18'. Home for my new Hegel H390. Thick carpet, concrete block on the end wall and one 18' side. The other side is 2x4 construction with paneling. 
My dealer said he can help with treatments. 
Bryston A2 wired speakers. 
My best guess is placing my speakers from the 12' wall towards the 18' end. 
Thanks for any suggestions.

@golden210,Your new room is not small. I would call it medium. I am in a similar situation as you are - room in the basement with 2 solid concrete walls and 2, 2X4 walls with double drywall (on each side) glued together with Green Glue acoustic compound. This minimizes the sound leaks. I use GIK treatments in my room. The A2 seems front ported, which should be fine in that space you have. The tri-traps in the corners will help tame the bass.
Good luck.

Asc tube traps , recommend them without hesitation. Send them pics of your room , your equipment and your flavor in music . They will tune the room for your flavor/taste . I recommend Jordan he is super helpful .

The room sim application inside of Room EQ Wizard is quite helpful for determining optimal speaker placement to minimize room modes.  GIK is an excellent source for information on both their website and their service.  You can make excellent panels using Guilford of Maine covering, 1 X 4's and Mineral Wool or Owens Corning 703 and have GIK make the harder stuff such as corner bass traps. GIK's prices are excellent and I try to procure even the DIY products through them.

I just received my GIK acoustic panels the other day.

Stillpoint Apatures get 4 ASAP for the best sound.
Are those $750 each? You're recommending he get 4 of them right away? Or am I looking up the wrong things?
