Will 2 be enough to start with and if so where would be the best place to install them? When budget allows I would add more.
Does anyone combine the Aperture Panels with any other type of room treatment or do you strictly do Aperture Panels?

I've heard nothing but good things about the Aperture Panels, and set--up professional Stirling Trayle thinks very highly of them as well.
With respect to adding more panels, also consider adding GIK Acoustics Alpha 4A panels. These combination diffusers/bass traps and they are VERY effective; they've singlehandedly made some of the biggest improvments I've made to my system in the last 2 years. You can also get them in different wood and fabric colors. They are also are considerably less expensive than the Aperture panels, a set of four is only $316.

This photo shows one of them along my front wall, but there are actually six of them in the room, including at the first reflection point.
Very highly recommended.
