I've been meaning to post some of these for a while now. Just some fun projects I have going on for my home theater.

Some super-chunks I made so I could move them if need be. But then, I have no other corners I could move them to, so they kinda just stuck in the corner they are in. Each is 34" wide by 4' tall, and stacked they wedge floor to ceiling.

Here is how they look in the theater.

Some broadband absorbers. These are JM 814 (OC703 analog) wrapped in Dazian Expo Cloth. There is no frame, so the corners aren't very sharp, but they look good unless you really come up close to inspect them.

Rear wall flutter breaking diffuser. I had some nasty slap echo front to back, especially since adding a 10" diagonal screen to my room. These helped break it up, and improved the surround sound slightly. The middle ones are 4" deep QRD from the Decware plans, but made larger since this is the material I had handy. The sides, are literally 20 year old stair treads that I dato'd slots in on my table saw. Everything was stained a warm cherry color, with no clear coat. Even the MDF came out great with a good oil based stain!

Some C.W.A.L bass traps from Decware.com I'm skeptical that these work well (or at all), but in my old apartment which was really small, they seemed to do something, though I have no measurements from that time. I've had these for about 10 years. They aren't pretty, but I still keep them around.

And finally, my "proof of concept" 2D QRD Omnifuser. I'm working on building up a Prime 29 version that will be about 30" X 30", I'll have photos of it at a later date.

I'm working on some 4" thick broadband absorbers, and some sort of cloud, plus the pair of Prim 29 Omnifusers over the next two weeks. I'll post them as I have them!
