Room Treatment for Corners - Recommendations?

Do folks have any recommendations for ceiling corner room treatments? I had read some good reviews of such triangle-like treatments from Eight Nerve, but the company appears to be out of business now.

I may also want to try some other treatmetns too, but corners are my priority just now. I'm improvising some pilates tubular exercise type thingies in on the floor in the corners behind the speakers currently, but am guessing I may get better results from proper tube traps, although they can get pricey and I'd prefer to focus on more cost effective solutions.

Any ceiling-corner solutions out there?

No magic. Even rolls of OC703 will work.

"Also you have a dependence on what type of front end equipment you have whether it is SS or tube becuse that will also have influence on what you're trying to accomplish with your room treatments and how you place them."

Now, how does that change or influence room acoustics?

Real or fake? How can either have any effect on room modes?

"I don't see them on their website any longer, but Real Traps used to sell artificial plants where the wicker basket was filled with absorption material. Combined with any benefit the branches and leaves might provide it seems to be a reasonably good solution that looks good in a room."

Funny. The acoustical advantages of these are due to the acoustical materials in the wicker basket. The "plant" is camouflage.

I guess your well-crafted post was too subtle for me. ;-)

1. 8' trees are not typical house plants.
2. Putting anything behind dipole speakers will affect the sound, much as it would if put in front of a monopole speaker.

So, I have no argument with your observations but they are not universal or typical.

Yes, it eludes many of us.
