Fake plants behind speakers a good idea?

More than one respected speaker designer has told me that large plants carefully positoned can help a rooms sound.

I don't know what type of speakers that you have, but many maggie users, utilize silk ficus trees behind their speakers for diffraction. Contrary to what beavis says, the do apparently work.

Silk works real works better, Infact plants in the room really help also.

If your system is really, really good (excellent), then use fake plants and you will be pleased with how the good sound actually makes them grow!

I have a 5' tall fake tree/plant in a back corner of my setup. I measured the room response with and without it. I found no difference in SPL's at any frequency. Also, it does't seem to effect imaging positively or negatively.
