A few weeks ago i added acoustic tile to my listening room walls. There was an echo when i clapped my hands sitting in the listening position.

After the tiles were placed on the walls the echo nearly completely went away and the stereo sounded better. Not sure about painting cork but i'd imagine the cork will reduce reflections.

BTW, when looking for reflections, sit in your listening position and place a small mirror along the sides of your room. When you can see the speaker in the reflection place a tile there. Continue going down the wall. You will see both speakers in the mirror.

Also, put the cork or other treatment on the wall of the speakers and on the wall behind you. I may even treat the ceiling one day but things improved so much with just the walls i may leave it as is.
