I try to enter the the final stage of my planing, but i still got some remaining questions..

No.. not at all. In a room that is using ONLY stand mounted mid or near fields, my approach is completely different than in a room with wall-mounted main monitors. In this case, we almost always use deep trapping at the front corners and a soft front design.

Hi Francis,
my room is setup quite similar to the room in the graphic in my first post above! What does your statement mean for my room concerning the front wall behind the stand mounted speakers?
I plan to place absorption panels behind my speakers and the front wall just like in the photo (see first post) above.

I would maintain my attention on the front corner traps, but not necessarily do anything about the front wall itself. (Note to Elmolemon: I don't like absorptive front walls )
Side walls + back walls need attention - be heavy handed with your back walls and corners.

Hi Thomas,
i thought it would make sense to treat not only the front corners (which are already treated), but also the area behind my stand mounted speakers, as they are quite close to the front wall..
You wrote, i should be heavy-handed with the back of my room. How deep can i go with the flexCL without adding air gaps between the layers? I don't have too much space available and it would help me a lot if i had just a rough idea where a single layer of this material reaches its "limit". I always feel a little discouraged if i read that flexCl is supposed to be most efficient in less deep layers and less efficient in deep layers due to its density..
I've read in the Amsterdam-Mastering construction thread that you use flexCl in layers of 10-12cm and above you also recommended 10-12cm for the early reflection points. What does this mean for me in relation to the advice to be "heavy-handed" with my backwall? Can i forget about the forum-talk and go deeper without additional air gaps between the layers or would i waste my money on the material?
Thanks a lot in advance!
