@Pistonengine:IMHO: The problem with absorption is that the first reflections go away; you kinda want them, only later. And diffusion still allows some early reflections to get by. My scheme traps the reflections, delaying them a bit. For a really small room, I think my FRT arrangement allows the most of what constitutes Maggie Goodness to shine.
The direct path blocking of the tweeter was a really nice plus to this configuration; the way it cleans up crosstalk, something most don't realize is a form of distortion until you hear its absence.
And nothing says the FRTs can't be more decorative; plexiglass panels, perhaps?
