Nice disguise with the fake vines trailing down the pipes.

However, I do want to point out that the room lens do mostly diffusion, and as a secondary and relatively minor effect SOME room mode damping.

You do not say if you have holes in the bases of you versions, if the pipes are closed off, they would not work at similar frequencies to the original Argent versions, stuffing or not.

It also looks from the pictures, that the spacing between the pipes is fairly wide, this also does not duplicate the Argent versions. Not being able to readily measure the difussion effects, I can not say if this is a problem, but it is safe to say that the Argent versions work with the closer spacing they use.

Finally, the use of wheels on the base may be OK on solid floors, without kids or pets present, but the stability might not be good enough for said kids or pets, and would pose a potential stability problem for carpeting.

For carpeting, spikes of some sort (home made or otherwise) would be more appropriate, and more likely to provide a stable unit.
