Hi Bryan,
According to Jon Risch's analysis (alas, now unfortunately vanished), the Argent Room Lenses have a dual effect:
1. they are a (not very effective in my room!) Helmhotz resonator for an 8'-ceilinged room. As you can see from the pic, my room has a pitched ceiling ... which pretty much curtials their "resonator" properties.
2. they diffuse. If you take the first reflection point from the ribbon to the front wall and thence to my ears, the pipes are smack bang in the way. The curved surface of the pipes and the fact that the 3 pipes are carefully spaced apart different distances top & bottom, results in them acting as a brilliant diffusor.
Thanks for the info on bass traps and how to tell if you need them; I will do the measuring. :-))
Regards,
Andy
