K,

Pictures of your room would be helpful.

For me, it is the same treatments in the corners and behind the 6s.

I think you should connect with ArthurS and Dr. Todd since they do have intensive treatments for their 9s.

Those are probably good places to start.  The line sources will have a more limited vertical dispersion so ceiling treatments for reflections aren't as critical as with some others.

Side wall treatments may be in order depending on the room layout.

Other potential places would include the rear wall with bass absorption depending on seating location.

I started with GIK acoustics room package 4 in black.
I have since added 14 auralex acoustics Q-fusors to the ceiling.

later,

I acoustically treated my 18x19x8 room for my LS-6's, and the following worked well for me; DIY triangular corner bass traps (ceiling to floor x 3) , one 2'x4' panel behind each speaker, three 2'x4' panels on the back wall behind the listening area (I think these are more important with a line source speaker in a small to medium room). I tried side wall acoustic panels and it deadened the highs too much, same for panels on the front wall between the LS-6's. You can't have too much bass treatment, but you can over treat and deaden the mid's and highs.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have the wall behind the 6's treated and have side walls treated just in front of the speakers with one panelon the back wall.

I think I could add some more to the back and maybe the rear wall.

I'll post some pics of the room for more suggestions.
