FYI, we have some really nice diffusors being made right now and will be launching them in 2025. Prices will be great, and dollar for dollar the best option out there. Pictures and stuff will be coming soon too.

When we actually take delivery then we'll post something.

This is a bunch of CNC, hotwire cut foam, similar to what you see in HAL's picture.

The real cost in having this stuff made is the shipping cost. Having the foam sent to where it is cut isn't about the material cost only, but getting it there. Then having it shipped from there to here is another huge cost. Then shipping from here to you.... It really adds up.

This stuff ships by dimensional weight and not actual weight. So a truck load is s truck load even if it's light.

We found a company that makes the foam near where it is cut (in Dallas). I am then driving down with a huge enclosed trailer and picking it up. So the only significant shipping cost is sending it out to the customers. :-) 

The shipping costs savings is really helping to keep the cost down.

"Life Stuff" is a heavy lift right now, but I have several boxes of the slat wall from Amazon.  A little over $200 for a large amount, like the picture of QRD diffusers.  30% off for the color that would work as we plan to do floors and some paint.  Obviously very different between the two. 

Thinking of just seeing how it looks... it'll help, but I think it may also do a few other things:

- With the vertical slats, I can cut 20 gauge aluminum about 4'x2' and "tuck the sides into the slats left / right" and bend it out to form a vertical poly.
- The vertical slats could be handy for easily R&R foam as well... screw into / play with that stuff instead of putting more holes in drywall - just because.
- I had another idea that, if it works well / if it looks interesting / if She likes it, perhaps have the aluminum anodized in the same "high sheen aluminum color" that my amps / preamp are finished with.  I thought that might be a nice touch - and it may really like a little light cast against it in the evening.  I guess one can work to hide the diffusion, or if you like it - it's a "purpose built thing"

I also planned to order some of the Mr T Foam diffusers, but I'll hold some horses on that. I thought of playing with vertical slats / poly / foam diffusion... move stuff around and see what tastes good.  I won't have to be "fully committed" to a cumbersome / heavy / expensive solution, until I have no other choice if I want it.
