Tube Traps Should Help

It's easy to overlook this ability of tube traps, but nulls are caused by waves of the same frequency hitting one another out of phase and cancelling one another. If you soak up some of those waves (and large size traps can be effective down to the frequencies you listed) in one part of the room, you'll reduce those waves' ability to cancel one another.

I was surprised to hear more bass at certain frequencies when I first built my tube traps.

Tube traps also work on mid and high frequencies, so they can really help clean a room up. It's hard to be aware of how much your room is coloring your sound until you remove some of it.

Good luck,
Pete
