That's great! Where did you get those traps and how do they install?

Sean,
I noticed in a picture on audiocircle, Klaus was talking on the phone with similar traps in the background. I'm sure they help some, but my research has found that you really need more coverage spanning the corners. Those don't look very wide or thick?

They are from Eighth Nerve. I got the Response room pack. Hmm, I see they are no longer available. It's been a year and a half, or so. Simple installation--push pins.

The corner triangles run about 14" per side. The seams are 45"x7". They aren't thick at all. They are made with one sheet of a posterboard-like panel with some stuffing on the back all covered in cloth. The edges are stitched close. You could probably make these pretty easy.
Yes, a larger size would be better, but I have a very small room and even these "smaller" treatments have a detrimental effect on the perceived spaciousness. In this case, it's a choice of form over function.
In my experience of having small listening rooms, bass builds up in the corners and gets boomy. The corner traps, though small, really help alleviate the low frequency dominance.
I know it ain't much, but it's working for me.

>>If you look across the entire spectrum I see many nulls that have been improved. Overall, it seems to be a flatter outcome.
I'm with Randy on this; the red line looks much better.
I think the "not much difference" impression is an artifact of your vertical scale -- about 20 dB packed into 1/4" of graph. If your graph was normal height I think you would be saying "wow, what a difference !!" instead.
