Hey all

This is my first post and I hope somebody can give me some idea of what to do. I've searched and read a lot of posts but I haven't seen anything that applies to my specific situation.

I have a very, very small control room (6' x 9') and I'd like to do all I can to get a good sound out of my HR824's. I have access to a bunch of 4 pound Mineral Wool for a pretty good price here in Minesota, but the supplier told me that 703 is much more common for sound absorbtion but it's 3 times as expensive. I plan on stacking the back corners of the wall with triangle traps, and then using 4'x2'x4" thick traps to form a 1/4 circle around my monitors, much like this guy did.
