I was surprised how much having the absorptive side facing out affected the imaging considering it is one 6'trap in the rt.corner on the front wall over 10" from the speakers.When I rotated the trap so the reflective side was out,the imaging improved.If I find that the front wall trap doesn't smooth out the bass any more,I will place it in the center of the rear wall flanked by 6'tube traps in the rear corners.
Follow Ups:
Did you have both traps turned around or just one? If just one then the asymmetry might have been more significant than the fact that it was absorption vs. diffusion. If both then the diffusion is obviously what you need, which is what is generally observed for maggies and their front walls.
I had both traps facing the same way.The biggest improvement was gained by the traps on the rear wall in absorption mode.
