Next step: Peel off the SBIR-addressing DIY traps fronting the jewel cases to see/hear what, if anything, happens. If there's no perceptible deterioration in audible performance, I'll report that here. Otherwise, no news is bad news, the front-wall photo will remain unchanged, and this thread will remain deathly quiet...
Until, at least, I take the next step after that: Peel off, one at a time, the 24"x24" absorbers that front the lowboy dresser to deal with its large reflective surface. If the removal of one or both of them does not degrade what I hear, I'll let you know.
In the meantime, I remain impressed with the palpable in-room presence, bass solidity, vocal and instrumental transparency, dynamic slam, transient quickness, and three-dimensionality with which the three-Aperture configuration has imbued decently-engineered recordings.
