"Also I don't mind treating the first reflections with absorption panels."I've found that with Cardas-positioned 1.6's in my 4.3+-meter-wide room treatment of the first _and_ second reflection points and the front corners with combined absorption _and_ randomized diffusion works best in terms of frequency balance and soundstage articulation and cohesiveness (diagram viewable at http://www.geocities.com/jimtranr/trap_placement.JPG). Applying absorption only in those locations sucks spatial "air" out of the presentation, so you may want to consider diffusion in your treatment package whatever your choice in speakers.
FWIW.
