ROOM DAMPING - CHOOSING THE CORRECT SUPPLIERS AND MATERIALS



I am at the point where room damping is a real issue.  My listening set up, by necessity, is the "room acoustics from hell" 15' X 55' with the front LR speakers placed facing the 15' and 12' ceiling.  Wood floors no carpet (dogs), All walls covered in drywall.  
The B&W 702 S2's are notoriously bright - in my experience, that is also true. 

Anthony Grimani (YouTube/Audioholics ) recommends 15 - 20% room coverage with alternating damping -diffusion panels.  SonitusUSA is out of stock on the panels that dampen the higher frequencies.  
I need to get the harshness / brightness under control as well.

Here is my Question: Which manufacturers should I be looking at for sound damping and sound diffusion panels?  


Building and improving my gear as I go (current hardware below):
AVR 7.2 / 2 channel music setup:
Denon AVR3700H (105 watts)
Rotel 1590 2 channel power amp connected through the Denon pre outs.  
Bowers & Wilkins 702 S2 (left right) speakers.  
Bowers & Wilkins 802 LCR (center power connection by Denon amp)  
Paradigm Phantom V1 LR Side
Paradigm Atom V1 LR Rear
SVS PB-1000 - YAMAHA YST-SW315 powered subwoofers
Sony 85" TV 

Lumin U1 Streamer
Denafrips Pontus DAC (R2R)

I had the most luck with GIK and RealTraps. RealTraps much more effective on bass for me than GIK.
Thanks Hilde45 - i’m going through the videos at GIK now. They are a ton of help on design, thanks for that Goldmine of information. I’ll take a look at RealTraps today. 
Hilde45 what’s your experience with these products?  RealTraps it’s considerably more expensive - Is there a performance difference that warrants it?  Denser?
What you may need is acoustic panels on the walls and a nice carpet or rug in the room. Along with that, identify hard surfaces and other areas where reflections are common. A set up that emulates near-field listening is ideal. 

You want to be closer to your speakers. Not too far away.


Thank you Mastering92. Can you recommend acoustic panels that you’ve had experience with?  
I am forced into near field listening given the room dimensions. So that’s not a problem. I get a lot of reflection off the rear walls 2 feet behind me.
