RE: Tube Trap Benefits

Could be the rear upper corners causing the slap echo, if so, this is easy to fix.

You need something to absorb and damp the corners, like a room tune/corner tune type device.

See - DIY Corner Tune/Room Tune:
http://www.AudioAsylum.com/audio/tweaks/messages/7888.html

You can try something temporary to see if this is the problem, use some cushions, pillows, a rolled up piece of foam or polyester, whatever, stuck in the corners using duct tape, a broom, just something to keep them there for long enough to audition the room and see what happens.
If you can verify that placing an absorber in those locations does the job, then you can build the nicer loooking, more permanent versions.
