Klaus,

> there is no science that shows that reflections are detrimental!

This is simply wrong! The graph in Figure 1 of THIS article clearly shows the degraded frequency response when reflections are not absorbed.

> When sound is reproduced through two loudspeakers a phantom source is formed between the two loudspeakers. This effect is known since long

Yes, but the phantom center is improved even more when reflections are absorbed.

> I don't have acoustic treatment other than the ceiling

I suspected as much. :->)

I suggest you at least try side-wall absorption, then let us know what happened. Or, if by chance you live anywhere near me, you are most welcome to come by for a visit and demo.
