The very small frames ( say 10 x 5 cm) would have been even better -creating allmost some kind of diffusion but this would have been a lot more work.

2nd reason for the smaller frames is visual - many small elements make a small room look bigger than little big ones...



Right, less is more in the end.
I find myself using more and more the same stuff (gml + neve) and if I need something else the other day I eventually use...errr gml + neve hrhr..

I removed the side racks cause I found it really strange to tweak things not being in the sweet spot.
Now everything is in hands reach - right the one rack is a bit near the left quested - doesn´t make much of a difference since tweeter still is in sightline.
How do you like the Nady's as OH's? Did you put any treatment on the ceiling above them? Are the reflections from the ceiling hitting the back of the mics an issue?
