Just updated my virtual system

@mijostyn  Those stands are inert.  The speakers are heavier than they look.  There's no drawer rattling. :)

The problem with the "diffusers" that are basically some cut out flat material placed on top of absorbers is they do a lot less diffusing than absorbing. They do look great but to properly diffuse you need to have diffusers that actually have multiple elements protruding out without any absorbers behind it. Just my opinion.

Of course you have many more windows than I do. I only have two 2' x 3' triple glass pane 4" thick so the sound of our rooms would be drastically different regardless of treatment. Maybe you will be fully satisfied as designed. That was my hope :)

Well, depends on what you mean by "proper".

The effectiveness of these is limited by the depth of the material.  I consider them to be high-value, for what they cost and where they fit, but I expect deeper, bigger, much more expensive panels if properly designed would provide even better performance.

Thanks @erik_squires I have read the blog and it’s very informative. I’d be really interested in reading your update when you get the tri-traps in, this kind of first hand experience from people who know what they’re doing is invaluable.
