Home made absorption panels.....

Try the plants. Diffusion can work as effectively as absorption, IMO. You can also hang rugs or wall tapestries.

Take a look at the virtual system of Audiogon member "Perfectionist" to see what can be done with rugs.

Thanks Tvad, Perfectionist has quite a set-up. My problem still remains with the sliding glass door with vertical metal venetion blinds.

I`ll be using a corner set-up per bobby p`s suggestion for my merlins that are on order. Using a corner placement, I`m not sure sonically what will be experienced yet. Or, for that matter, where the ref. points would be.

I wonder if anyone else has used this corner set-up and what if any sonic benefits were achieved?

Replacing the metal vertical blinds with fabric vertical blinds will be a good start, but I'm sure you've already considered this.

Yes, problem would be solved but it`s a rental.

Good luck.
