12.5' by 10.5' room - Big enough for Poly's?

I guess you could but with a room that size I can't see wanting to keep much of any of the room tone itself. If it was my room I would focus more on absorption over diffusion/scattering.

Thanks! I'll go for an absorption approach. The good news is that bass traps are a lot less work and materials cost than most diffusers. You're right, the basic sound of the room isn't that useful. I'm thinking I can buy a few sheets of fairly thin plywood to place against the walls when tracking acoustic instruments where I want some more reflection and it's pretty inexpensive.

Actually if buy plywood you could bend it and place next to the wall if you need too.
