Thanks! I just got Conception a few days ago. I need to give it another listen.
I'll look for the skyline plans. I want to add some diffusers above and behind the listening position. I'm planning a couple silk ficus trees for diffusion behind/between the panels.
I don't have a lot of room to experiment with seating or panel placement. The nominal room dimensions are 17'6" W x 15' D, but a bay window and coffee bar alcove increase the depth to 24' (really only a factor in exacerbating bass mode complexity). My primary listening position is at ~1/3 and bass is managed +/- 1 dB with multi subs in that position. Closer to the wall or center of the room and bass gets really tough to manage due to room modes.
My favorite Tone Poets so far are Lou Donaldson Mr Shingaling, both Stanley Turrentine releases, Katanga, and Witch Doctor (Witch Doctor is pretty hot and distorted on some of the drum solos, but the overall groove more than makes up for it)
