I realize it's not possible to give a concrete answer, but I'm hoping to gather opinions deeper than "it's better than nothing" before spending so much. GIK sales have recommended 12x 244s (https://www.gikacoustics.com/product/gik-acoustics-244-bass-trap-flexrange-technology/) but I'm willing to go thicker. Basically the ceiling is the only spot I can place them without upsetting the peaceful balance in my house. Maybe something decorative flanking the fireplace (maybe)
