Christmas Tree Echo Control


So, my wife put up the Christmas Tree directly behind my right speaker this afternoon. I must say, it does a really nice job of damping down some funny echoes back there. I wonder if she'd let me keep it there year round?

Of course she will let you keep the tree up, all year. In fact she is planning to put up another behind the other speaker. Christmas, all year round. I think it is a plot on her part to keep you from buying another piece of gear. Clever, she is.
Heck, you can even use the manger set and the little towns that are popular nowadays as cable lifters. Throw in some wreaths at the 1st reflection spots and you're set. See if she can top that.
obviously your room needs some type of treatment based on this :

why not look into getting 1 or 2 artificial trees after the holiday season is over. They usually can be found online or at local craft stores.
What kind of tinsel and decorations have the best acoustics? Does Scotch pine sound better?
