Hi Folks, Long time lurker, first time poster! Im finally getting around to treating my room and have a question regarding the brick wall that is behind my monitors. Overall the room sounds very live and slappy in the mid range. I still have to build some panels for the side walls (first reflection point) but I had a question about the brick wall. Some sources say that brick is actually not too bad for reflections due to its porous nature but I am considering treating this wall to see how it changes the sound. I was thinking of putting three 2'x4' x 2" thick Corning 703 panels on that wall. 1 behind each monitor and one in the middle, vertically. I've linked a picture of the setup for reference.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Could you give us a better view on the whole room? A drawing would do. Aren't your speakers positioned too high? (or your desk too low)
