Not David, but

I have some experience with DIY room lens clones. I use only 2 triplets and they work very well indeed. Mine are NOT in the standard setup, which didn't work as well in my room. Mine are actually behind my speakers inboard at the first reflection point from that wall.

As David says, you have to experiment in your room and move them all about to various reflection vectors.

Also as David says, there are many different possible configs of these devices, and his posts list several good ones. But I found the basic triplets work very well using the exact dimensions and fill as described by Risch and Loesch in their posts. These are cheap and easy to make. Mine cost me about $25 for two several years ago, and I doubt they're much more expensive to make up today! So you can experiment a lot for very little money indeed.

You can work with one, BTW, but as David said, it's not the best setup. Argent originally recommended at least 3 and many more as potentials.

Have fun!
