There's a big difference between "taming a little high frequency splash" and building bass traps for the corners. Most of the experts and manufacturer's promote the use of fiberglass for room treatments. It is inexpensive and it works. It's quite possible (and even probable) that "long hair carded lambs wool" may work better then fiberglass for some areas, but I'm sure it costs much more.
Room Acoustics Corner Problems
I have a room that is being constructed in my new house. This will be a dedicated listening room that is measuring 14 feet wide, 21 feet long, and 7.6 feet high. The back half of the room is a little wider at 16 feet. I have made as many soundwise decisions as possible based on my budget, however, I've just run into a problem. The plumbers have installed a large pipe for run off purposes in the front left hand corner of the room. In order to cover this ugly pipe they will need to either take a foot and a half off the front of the room (for example by putting a double studded wall up there) or they could taper the front corners (I would automatically taper the right corner as well just for aestetic purposes and to make it look even on both sides). By filling these corners with insulation and drywall etc essentially making it octagon shaped in the front of the room, will this cause any sonic disadvantage? Am I better off just making the room smaller and losing the extra 1.5 feet?
