As mentioned by me in the past, including in my system profile (maybe nobody cares), there is company out there who makes great corner traps and other absorbtive panels at about half the price of ASC products, and they look a thousand times better as well. The company is Kinetics Noise Control out of Dublin, OH. Their phone is (614)889-0480, fax (614)889-0540. They will tell you who their closest dealer is, and none is nearby, you may be able to talk them into selling direct. I now have four of their corner traps. Each is shaped in a semi-pyramidal fashion, about five feet long and tapering down to a point. They are about thirty inches wide at the base and shaped such that the base forms a triangle also with the wall corner behind it. They are constructed with a dense yellow foam and fiberglass-like composite and covered with cloth in a choice of colors. When hung with the base up and point down, you can easily stuff polyester fill at the top and down behing the panel to modify the amount of absorption. I paid about $160 per trap through a dealer who doesn't discount much. In my previous home my listening room was the corner of very large great room with a cathedral ceiling, attached open kitchen, and overlooking loft. One KNC trap placed in a corner did wonders to solidify imaging and get rid of bass bloat. My new home has a much smaller, conventional rectangular living room- listening room (until the wife lets me use the 20x20 family room). Four corner units eliminated all booming and bloat and as a bonus, look cool as hell. If you can get them, and don't care to spend many angst ridden hours hoping you don't botch your home-brew project, they are highly recommended.
