It didn't look anything like this, but photos reminded me of a local dealer years ago.
Norm was a really nice guy and ran a dealership out of his home. He loved to experiment. So he made a number of diffusion and reflection devices that he placed around the listening room. For one he placed thin wire baskets filled with scrap wood bits cut to various shapes. He placed those on the floor midway between each speaker and the listening chair to scatter reflections from floor bounce (yes, there was reason behind most of what he did).
But my favorite was the large wooden xylophone-like contraption he built. That was a frame made from 2x4s, maybe 5' long and 4' high. From the top bar he hung a line of various lengths of wooden dowels. Between each of those he hung long, narrow strips of aluminum or foil (no longer remember). The whole contraption was placed behind the listening seat.
He also considered ear elevation to be critical within less than one inch and so had a collection of cushions of various thicknesses for the listening seat to accommodate a range of listener heights.
There were more items I don't remember, enough that one had to be cautious when walking through the room. Sorry I don't have a photo of that.
