Doing the Front End

Thanks for the responses guys. I actually didn't anticipate such a consensus. Since room treatments from companies such as ASC and Echobusters cost $1000-3000 to really get things going I would assume there would be more people suggesting I spend the money on components. And no I'm not going the DIY route because I'm not handy at all and do not wish to partake in such a project. So I will pay for the convenience. I thought about having Rives draw out a floor plan as well but their Level One Service costs almost $1000 which can buy me two tube traps.

I'm thinking I simply start with two tube traps in the front corners and maybe some absorption panels in the back to start with and go from there. With my room having no treatments I feel I can't go wrong. Then I'll break out the measurements and see what else I need. Does this sound like a plan? Or should I just plop down the money and start with a trap in every corner kind of thing?
