Nathan,

Of course. Thanks.

SII is mostly a function of mid/high frequency reverb time and echoes, but to my way of thinking low frequency articulation is equally important for rooms where music is played or reproduced. And that too is a function of reverb time and modal ringing.

Agreed.  I was referring mostly to the fact that products that are all absorptive do very little to improve the SII.

Dig the room color!

Man, you have a nice variety of products in your room too.  Have you ever tried removing them and listening to what your system was like before you added the treatments?  It could be a fun thing to do on a Saturday afternoon.
