Looking for reasonably priced sound diffusion.


I am looking for sound diffusion panels for placement on my ceiling. They need to be lightweight (no holes in the ceiling) effective and reasonably priced. No more then $80 panel or so for 2X2 feet. Like to actually spend less.

I have seen products by RPG - Skyline and Auralex - T-Fusers. The Skyline is to pricey. Not sure about those plastic looking T-Fusers.

I have good absorption and simply want to mix in a few diffusers on my ceiling and perhaps behind my speakers replacing absorption panels now there. The side walls and wall behind me have good absorption. I also have floor to ceiling bass traps behind the speakers in the corners of the room.

My sound is very good, but I feel this could be a nice final room touch. Perhaps helping out things when music is played very loudly which I like to do at times.

The room is 24 feet by 18 feet with 8 foot ceilings. You can see my room as part of my virtual system.

My speakers are out 7 feet from the front wall.

Thanks for your help.

I made a 2' x 4' panel from the MIO diffusion tiles to attach to the front of the large flat screen TV in front of me and between the speakers (my living room doubles for my HT and stereo room). I did this to try and counteract the sound reflections coming from such a large flat surface in front of me. The perception is that sound became more defined, spacious and less 'glary'.

i'm curious if absorption in front of the TV would work better.
