What I did was even cheaper. I built a 2x4 frame right on the wall with the appropriate angles, etc.. Then filled it with one foot squares of 703 in checkerboard fashion by gluting the 703 right to the drywall. Made an identical form on the opposing wall, checkerboarded it as well, BUT in a mirror image. This allowed me not to deaden the CRM too much. ie: What is hard on one wall is "soft" on the other and vice verca. This allowed testing before covering with fabric. When the acoustical consultant was happy I was set to go the next step. One huge bolt of fabric later, I stretched and stapled the fabric over the forms and stapled it into place and the finish carpenter made it look supernice with 1/4 round molding. Total pro look, won't fall off, does what it needs to do.

Congrats on your solution.
