Technically, it may be better to have them exactly at the same level as 
the speakers.  But there was aesthetic and practical considerations that 
caused me to change this configuration.  Namely, I tried to actually 
center the panels vertically on the walls above the tables and couch. 
Since the goal of the panels is mostly to absorb high end frequecies and 
prevent slapback, I figured that they would have a better chance of doing 
that as centered as possible on the untreated sections of the walls.  Once 
those were in place, placing the other panels at any other hieght made the 
whole room look thrown together, and honestly after playing with the 
positions some, it made very little difference to my ears.  As long as 
they were on the walls close to the right spot, the differences were 
negligible.

As long as you're in the sweetspot, or close to it, the initial 
reflections aren't the main issue.  It's the extended reflections from the 
overall room that had to be tamed.

Nice studio!

One thing, and I could be wrong, and if so, this will make for a good 
discussion anyway. the foam squares on the sides, i.e. on the walls to the 
right and left of the speakers (not the wall behind them) seem a little 
high. I would think that since they serve to quell side reflections from 
the speakers, that they be at the same height as the speakers.

or maybe it doesn't matter . . .
