It feels like the soundstage double in width. Vocals came way forward and are way way more focused and centered. Amazing.

I think it looks pretty nice. I wouldn't mind the aesthetics of a few ASC tube traps based on what it looks in your room.
 
Another piece of the puzzle Mike. I wonder how much sound gets bounced off the popcorn maker? Is it possible to wheel it out of your room to check? I can hear it now, "Honey, I can either buy $$$$ more in tube traps or I can get rid of the popcorn maker." :)

I hope someone takes it. Maybe it will accidentally fall out the window or down the stairs. Oops.

Thanks to Jeff, he gave me some good tweaks for placing the traps and they have taken another step up in performance! Bass seems stronger, but tighter and much more defined. Mid bass smearing has all but been eliminated in my room.

A $10,000 investment in your room will yield a bigger sonic ROI than a $100,000 on gear.

Amazing.

In real estate they say three most important things are "location, location, location." In high end audio, its "room, room, room."

....as well as power supply & isolation, imo. These are "the three" for me!!!
