Okay, so I had a productive weekend - finished my first reflection point panels. Since this room responds well to bass trapping, I decided to build these to act as both bass traps and first reflection absorbers.

Each frame is 36" wide and 90" tall. Inside is 4" thick 705FRK with the FRK facing the wall. Panels are spaced out from the wall 2". Needless to say these do a good job of absorbing anything that hits them.

Yeah, I know... the curtains are non-optimal. I actually have them on both walls for symmetry, but there is only a window behind one of 'em.

These puppies really helped focus the soundstage!

 What are the white panels that you have mounted on them ?

 Actually those things with the white panels on them are my speakers! Those are Acoustat Spectra 22s that I built from parts. I used the same fabric to cover the frames that I use on the traps. The white panels are the actual Acoustat drive units.

I drive these with a pair of highly modified Acoustat Servo amps per side (I have four servo monoblocks total). These run the panels full range and bypass the original Spectra electronics for these speakers. Really I'm just using the frames and panels.
