Anyone here use room lenses?

i used to have some baffling at the back of my listening room to kill off some of the sub hitting my neighbours apartment, but ive since taken it down since i moved things around. when i move into my next place im betting im going to have a lot of treatment to do.

Currently I'm in the process of building a dedicated HT in my basement. I'll post some pics of construction soon. I plan on buying some OC 703 panels and making my own absorbers. I'll purchase diffusors at a later time. I've seen some really cool ideas with the stuff. Go to realtraps.com. I plan to have 6 2'x4' panels and 4 2'X2' diffusor panels as well. I'm putting up corner bass traps as well as R-19 insulation in the ceiling. All walls were done with R-13 except for the back wall which will be R-19.

wow, I like the studio columns.
I originally asked because I built some room lense clones and I didn't get any result. I did get some feed back on audio asylum and I've reached the conclusion that my room is so fucked that the lenses were like pissing on a bonfire.
So now I am going to build bass traps and panels. But I'm pretty sure there is going to be resistance from my girlfriend. She made unflattering comments when I tried the ceramic coffee cups as cable lifters ;-).
I probably cant get away with just foam. I need to dress the panels with fabric so that they will blend into the wall color. So now I'm going through galleries of other people rooms so that I can collect some pictures of usable living space with well integratred sound treatments to demonstrate that the room won't look like shit. I won't have a dedicated room or better space until we move or build out.
Can anyone suggest arguments and/or resources to help me convince her that the room treament is a good thing? Those pictures at realtraps would definitely kill any chance I have.

I just realized that I work 4 miles from the link above!! That is pretty funny, but it is great knowing I can stop by on the way home and grab this stuff.

scervin, going the whole deadicated HT route... nice!!! looking forward to the photos.
I think I'm gonna have to wait until I build a place for that, but if I build, it'll be in mind from the beginning :)
