Re: Because my ceiling is higher on the left side of my listening room...

Tom,

It depends on how you define "work well." IMO that's too small to be effective enough. I'm sure two small panels will help, and it'd have to be better than nothing. But for most domestic size rooms I recommend at least four 2 by 4 panels, and even 16 would not be too many. It's impossible to make any room perfectly flat at bass frequencies and with no modal ringing. So all you can do is add as many bass traps as possible, and accept the results.

You've seen my living room photos with 40 traps, yes? :->)
