i've got absolutely nothing in my front corners and my rear corners. while i suspect that some tube traps would be the *best* solution, is there anything i can use to get me 90% (or 80%) of the way there? i.e.:

drapes that are bunched together in the corner (if so, what material?)

fake trees / plants

bookshelves

???

any ideas / thoughts / experiences would be welcome.
thanks

I've had to do things like this before for customers.  One solution was to build some shelving that fit in the corner like a cabinet (45 degree sides).    Then the back of the cabinet was cloth (GOM) and the shelves were only about 3-4" deep for curios, nick-nacks, etc.  Behind the cloth was solid absorbtion (cut into triangles and stacked up.  

The cabinet was made to be about 30" wide at the front to support a full 2' wide triangle in the rear for good surface area.  One customer used 703 behind the cloth - the other used acoustical cotton.

They both did a very nice job and looked great as they can be made with whatever detailing for room style you want and painted/stained as you prefer to match trim, furniture, etc.  The GOM offers 48 colors to choose from so that's a nice option also.

Bryan that is a pretty cool idea!!
Other is to cut the fiberglass into triangles, stack it from floor to ceiling then put a nice drape in front of that..
