Rutgar replied to a thread Hollow Quadratic Diffusor in Room Acoustics

Ah, okay. But, I didn't have any Roxul bat insulation (also, I don't know what that is... ;)). Basically, I cut the 1" rigid fiberglass to fit...

Thank you for your time Ethan. I believe I will stick with stands. That way I can just set them in front of the doors (or in the corners). Placing...
