Yes, it's hard to do subtle on a forum, so apologies for missing the joke.
No worries--one does have to be careful to keep the peace on Internet fora!
However, I do question the need for room treatment. If treatment is necessary, then either the room is very sparsely furnished and uncomfortable, or otherwise unsuitable, or the 'speakers are poor, especially their off-axis performance that causes the total energy to have a weird frequency response.
It is something of a can of worms with different approaches possible, and as you suggest, depends on the room size, polar response of the speakers (and their locations), soft furnishings and bookshelves etc.
For instance, the "Linkwitz" approach (dipole/open-backed speakers in an "ordinary" living space) could be contrasted with that of (Earl) "Geddes" -- monopole speakers with smooth and controlled off-axis response, narrowing up into upper mid/high frequencies without the typical beaming of the midrange driver handing over to a wide dispersion tweeter, reducing lateral reflections etc. Fully implementing his ideas more or less requires at least a heavily modified/custom room, and aside from mid/high frequency treatment, it is strongly suggested to pay attention to the "modal" region in "small rooms" (i.e. any domestic room!), i.e. below Schroeder frequency, including multiple subwoofers with software optimised EQ to produce the smoothest response.

A more recent example of a design intended to work in "untreated" rooms is Bruno Putzeys' "cardoid" speakers.
Seeing some of the adverts in magazines for loudspeakers, with lots of glass and chrome, shiny wooden floors and not a carpet in sight, does make me wonder how those 'speakers would every sound good.....never mind they never show any cables connecting them........
It looks nice, and it probably better represents (listening rooms of) those strange customers for whom audio is not their lifelong obsession. ;-)
