With diffusors, cheap and effective are often mutually exclusive.

Cheapest diffuser I know: poly-cylindrical diffuser can be made of a single plywood board and place some rockwool so it won't ressonate.

There was a guy on Audio Asylum that built a replica of the RPG diffusor.

Audio Asylum

Also a friend of mine is taking blocks of styrofoam, measured an actual RPG Skyline and has covered his whole ceiling with them.

Regards,
Bruce

I once read of a guy who used a book case with a variety of different books in it. Not to sure how well it worked but hey, if it works it works.
