I have demoed SMT and am a fan, most of my experiences in Flyer's room, Elberoth's and Jazzhead's have been documented on Flyer's thread.
Yesterday I was at Joel's place, and his room is a square 7m * 7m, with a sloping roof that reflects a lot from one slope to the other.
However, I could hear no room problems because with the help of an acoustician Joel has tamed the room RT to 0.3sec, for his Vivd Giya G1, which are tough to set up.
But what impressed me was that he has done it using material that blends into the decor and does not intrude into the room. He has been through GIK, vicoustic and other panels. He has now settled on PYT audio and another German brand (he can provide details) for absorption. He has two DAADs in either corner, which are the only intrusive elements in the entire room (apart from the G1s, of course!)
What you see below are the German panels used as absorbers. These have been put up parallel to the ceilings, are thin perforated panels, with space between them, and can be colored or painted/imprinted on to suit the room decor.
On the last pic, I have shown the gap between the panel and the ceiling so that one can differentiate, but if you were in the room in person, you just would not notice these panels unless you looked at that gap.
Best left to Joel to explain the technical details
