New attempts at ..well... absorbing reflections from the low ceiling (and diffusing the very highest frequencies I suppose). This is not exactly the type of treatment I want, but it works for experimenting.
I also don't think this is quite the same as "sails". I think that this room might have different needs because the ceiling is so very low and hard.

I've put up some matress-like material in the middle, and only thinner cloth outside.
My first attempt, with only a large sheet of thin cloth, seemed to totally kill the treble in the room.
Anyway, these big areas of thin cloth really calms down the presentation. Old treble floating around the room is clearly disturbing.

Yes... I will replace those MF horn sheves one day. Those horns sit at least a few inches too low right now also.

Oh, and folks... as you can see from the photo -don't finish the edges of 100 zillion lbs horns with gypsum. It breaks easily.
