Off axis cloud placement


I am currently in the process of fine tuning my room which is 10wx25Lx10H.  I have GIK bass traps in all 4 corners and GIK absorption panels at first reflection. I have also treated the room with Synergistic research HFT's and a FEQ.  I have noticed that on certain recordings, the high end is a little bright. My dealer has also noted that the room was a little "hot".   I was thinking of adding clouds to help with this.  The sound is otherwise awesome.  My floor is wood with a large rug covering 85% of the area.  So now the problem.  The likely area of first reflection is occupied by a fan.  I am making two 4X6 ft clouds using Owen Corning 703 fiber panels.  Will they be helpful if placed just in front of the fan and just behind the first reflection point?  This will place one in the front third above the amps, and one over the listening position in the back third. Or is this just wishful thinking and a waste of time?

Do what I did and get rid of the ceiling fan altogether ! I put 3 GIK 4 " x 6" using their ceiling brackets at 8 inchs apart and will tell you it's worth it. I had a nice ceiling fan up there but never used it , so taking it done was the best idea in a long time. You can also install a duplex in the ceiling box and put an led light strip in the center panel and have a great ceiling effect what ever color your mood wants. If you still want air circulation in the room get an air purifier !
