Or on the angled ceilings? My room has 5' knee walls and a ceiling angled at either 40 or 45 deg's (10/12 or 12/12 pitch, not quite sure).

My speakers are on a wall with the angled ceiling above, and 2 windows behind. The windows are not true dormer windows as they are on the same plane as the wall until they extend up beyond the knee wall. At 5' they become dormers.

The wall behind my chair is a mirror image except for the windows - 5' knee wall and angled ceiling, 19' in length.

I have not messed with treating the ceiling above the listening position due to the presence of a ceiling fan. Also, the ceiling is 10' high, so I'm not so sure it is having an affect on the presentation.

But I cannot help but wonder about the angled ceiling behind the listening position. Or the cavities created by the half-dormer windows above-behind the speakers. I'm confident that I have some bass peaks/dips based on what I hear, I just can't find my Rives test CD and RS analog meter I bought several years ago. :-(

As far as highs/mids, I think it's all good due to the size of the room. Speakers are ~28" from rear wall. Spaced about 7' apart (center of drivers). Listening position less than 8' from the front plane of the cabinets (Gershman Avant-Garde RX-20's).
