I'd also like to know

I also took it one step further then my previous post, but only two layers of folds, not four like you did. I'm assuming it's a loss in efficiency because the first reflection @ around 90 degrees does not diffuse the sound according to the QRD specs. In other words, it's not possible to expect the same results when it's folded because the ray tracings responds differently.

Taking it as far as you have with that many folds, while it looks awesome and would be really fun to build, I fear might result in too much of a difference. But, yeah... if the smart folks here say it's cool, then it's still worth considering IMO
