cork wall treatments

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I have just about settled on my final tube sound system, and the last thing to improve is room acoustics.
Has anyone applied cork wall tiles or cork sheeting to their listening rooms? And what was the improvement (if any). I am thinking of adding cork to my main facing wall to the speakers, which is behind my listening position, as I believe there may be mid to high frequency reflections going on. I have marble floors (in spain) but have a large central rug and curtains.
Can I paint the cork with a thin covering of water based white paint? Will it keep the sonic benefits with the paint applied?
Thanks in advance!
