super chunks or ethans traps, one requires more work and less money, but both seem to do a good job for a number of people.

I personally made my own framed absorbers, various sizes (2x3, 2x4, 3x3, 3x4 - 6 inches thick, 12 "traps" all together) for portablity and configuration variations mostly. I couldn't stack two 2x4 on top of each other to go floor to ceiling, mine's just shy of 8 feet. Also, the smaller ones I can easily move around the room and place wherever, they are thick enough so they stand up by themselves. It cost around 300-400 dollars and maybe three or four days of work altogether. Actually I've only finished 8, but yeah I've noticed a difference, though surprisingly other people walk in and say it sounds wonderfully different, not initially knowing the traps were there.

Super chunks would work equally well, cost less because no "frames" are required, and is more then likely alot less work then what I did. Oh, don't forget GIK traps, which are similar to what I've done but probably better, and don't cost that much more then DIY.
