All,

Google Sketch (http://www.nwrep-intrepid.com/TheaterRoom.skp)

Above is a google sketch up of my theater room. Basically my floor standers are far enough off the back wall (they are rear ported), but due to the size of my screen they are only 1'-2' off the side walls. I realize this presents a problem for reflections/acoustics. What is the best step if the speakers need to be this close? Should I line the lower 1/2 of the side walls with absorption materials out to just beyond the first reflection points?

Any thing else you all can suggest to improve sound?

(Sry for the double post in a different forum- believe it should be here instead)
