Thanks richidoo,
That's what so great about these forums someone in the thick of a project will have some blindness and outside input can be extremely helpful.
Thanks for posting the image robertwb, they look very cool. I have mine placed behind behind my cabinets and I seem to be enjoying a dramtic improvement from mine, it may be because my box speakers are tapered towards the back of the cabinet in an effort to reduce early reflections, I am not sure. It could just be the acoustics of my space suck so bad that anything designed and placed to improve it sounds incredible, we'll see.
Here is an image of the cabinets (RL not finished yet) they tapper towards the lens, but possibly more significantly I wonder if box floor standers are more effected than monitors on stands, since they run all the way to the floor as do the RL. Also my speakers have a downward firing port? Don't know for sure why I am getting such great improvements. I will know more as I experiment with bass traps and other projects down the line.
Also I will remove these after a week or so just to double confirm my initial reactions.
