[QUOTE="Blackjack, post: 216543, member: 13343"] That is a good question Vaughn. I have decided on the golden trapagon because it is supposed to be the most efficient shape room for handling soundwave reflection and as no one on the forum has any experience with one of these, I will accept lots of advice from the boffs like you for the basics. There are no parallel surfaces, which is a start. The curved 'baffle' at the rear should absorb much of the low frequencies, esp if I cut the underfelt in layers, like you would if you wanted to lay a carpet, and then pack them one on another, until I reach the ceiling thick double insulated (with underfelt) carpet on floor. the walls will be built from a solid earth block, (going green) 8), called .'tatublock' used extensively in this area with heavy plastering and then a cavity wall approx. 50mm off the plaster faced with what we call laaintjies. These are gum saplings of approx 30 - 40mm standing upright next to each other to form a wall. (these can be found at nursery's for ivy trellising etc, ) Normally these are very expensive but my farm is approx. 3km from a large Gum plantation, and I can get them for about 80c each. After the building is up, I will play my stereo and analyse the room and then look at further treatment, once I know what I am up against. What do you think of the baffle idea? [/QUOTE]
