Well, the Mythbusters were able to polish a turd, but in the end, all they had was a polished turd.

Tying this into your other thread, about the new sub, keep in mind that the effective volume of the room includes the kitchen/dining room as they aren't sealed off.

a try. I am getting 7 panels from them: 2 on each side to cover early reflections, one behind the center speaker (it's too close to the wall) and two bass traps in the corners.

ATS panels come in two types: 2-inch and 4-inch thick. 4-inch panels have a somewhat lower WAF, but according to ATS, they are four times more effective at 125Hz bass absorption than 2-inch panels. The price difference is not very big: $46.95 vs. $37.95 for a 24" x 36" panel (and some extra $$ in shipment costs). The two panel types perform equally well at 500Hz and above. Since my room is relatively small, the under 500Hz performance is very important for me. So I decided to go with 4-inch panels.

From everything I have read, I think that's wise. 2" panels just don't control bass.
