Yeah they kinda remind me of RPG'S BAD panel, which are not marketed as diffusers, but "sound absorption across the NRC frequency bands while preserving the ambiance of the space".To the OP, I also experimented with polycylindrical diffusers when running Maggies, they worked great on the front wall. You do not get as much time delay diffusion with them, as with QRDs. But they need to be a good distance from the listener, in my smaller room they added too much reflection. They can be made easily as a temporary test, with 1/8" Masonite bent onto a wood frame (again see the Gearslutz forum).
Now I run all absorption, except the QRDs in the middle of the front wall.
