Post Subject: Ahh, the echo chamberPosted by Serge on: 10/7/2010

I will think about it. Romy, of course you know me. Use your little grey cells as Msr Poirot used to say.
Initial thoughts: hunting HF reflections and damping them is generally not a good idea. It is like making a speaker cabinet completely damped - the life in the sound goes away with the resonances. There should be reflections, but random and low in amplitude. So to begin with let's think not how to make the room absorb HF but how to make it scatter them in a good manner. Quite unexpectedly wooden things are most effective there and not man made stuff.
Probably you need to wait till the finishing is finished and furniture is there.
And again: in no way I am giving advice, I'd rather see a discussion.
