Those are some pretty expensive bass traps!  I ordered someMiniTraps from RealTraps.com today.  I'll let you all know how itworks out.  I was impressed with what I have read on recording.orgforum on studio and control room acoustics and had some nice emailexchanges with Ethan, the head of RealTraps.com before ordering.  Sofar, so good.
