Jon,
I made up some Sound Absorbtion panels using a mixture of your directions and Jon Risch's directions. I have them behind my speakers, on my side walls at the first reflection, and on the ceiling for the first reflection there. Since I had already made built in bass traps in the corners (using the directions at the PS Audio website) I didn't need the DIY bass traps.
These panels are so easy to make and can make such a big difference in how a room sounds I would like your permission to post directions and pictures.
After over a year of experimenting with speaker placement, room treatment, and equipment swaps there is no doubt in my mind that proper room acoustics is second only to speakers in how much you can change the way music sounds. To my ears DACs came next, almost as dramatic as room treatment, then amps, then pre-pros. With the electronics you had to really be familiar with how things normally sounded to hear the differences, most of my friends claimed to hear no difference between the amp and pre-pro swaps I did. Most could hear the differences between the 3 DACs I changed around, and all could hear the differences when the Sound Absorbers where removed.
