I've "seen/heard the light" and am planning DIY acoustic panels + bass trap(s), to tame the back wave and bass nodes of my Summit setup (see post http://www.martinloganowners.com/~tdacquis/forum/showpost.php?p=71454&postcount=52)
My initial idea is to use Owens Corning 703 or 705 fiberglass panels, covered in off-white burlap (or similar material) and faux painted to match my walls. However, I'm now wondering if painting the fabric will essentially negate their absorption effect? I don't plan a heavy application of paint, just enough to blend in with the walls. I know that Acoustic Sciences offers "picture panels", which I presume have a painted surface (http://www.asc-hifi.com/picture-panel.htm) Alternatively, I could use a complementary fabric from Guilford of Main, but a custom-matched finish would have much higher WAF.
