Thanks for sharing ideas, rkeman.
No tiles for me (I will use gyproc) but I am planning to use treatment on first reflection as a minimum and probably a little more. Mini DSP is the plan as well as mic and software for measurements (bass only). Sub woofers are the weak element and I can probably improve through correction.
Honestly, i can live with the quality of the sound as it is (even if I consider myself a very demanding person) - keeping in mind it is the home theater not the music room. I listen to music but it is rock as well as loud stuff while player pool.
WAF is more important in that room than great image with Jazz and acoustic stuff.
Bottom line, the way I setted up, the 4 PI are excellent in a home theater and I recommend with little to no risk to assume. Trust me, I made many mistakes in buying stuff in the past costing me many thousand of dollars. You cannot go wrong with PI speakers. I have seen better in some areas but dynamics and speed is outstanding
Annecdote: When I started ''the Hobbit'' (not a fan of that type of movie by the way) I immediatly got goose bums. The sound was so rich, so big, so real!
3 more weeks, and I will be able to paint, finish the floor, install pool table, start having fun...
