You would be referring to what one of the women on my wife's tennis team upon seeing them said. Is this some kind of 50 Shades of Grey thing going on here?
You are correct they are for dispersion. They are plastic martini glasses without the bottom. 3 dots of gel supper glue hold them to a foam panel. About as low tech as you get but work well.
My room, by choice leans very heavy toward the absorption side. I have 2 " of Ownes Corning 705 in all of the green panels you see on the walls. Behind that is 1 1/2" airspace then 6 " of fiberglass. All 4 corners have bass traps along with the upper corner around the room is a bass trap also.
The EE I'm building the speakers for built them for his living room and brought a couple of them over for me to try. I never had an interest in adding dispersion to me room until after playing with them for a few months. I am able to move them anywhere in the room as they hang from the top of the large absorption panels.
After trying them for a while I decided to build a few more and add them to the room. Like with anything some placement didn't sound good, others made a noticeable though not earth shacking improvement is spaciousness. Enough though that they will be staying.
Thanks for your kind comments.

in these times, my fortress of solitude is more relevant than ever......
Mike, though our rooms look nothing alike, your thread of the build is what inspired me to where I ended up with my room.
Thanks for sharing the process.
You are obviously well aquatinted with him, Jonathan Tinn is one of the nicest audio people I have ever had contact with.

Here is my friend’s room. Please imagine without the blue cord. He just moved in into his new house and the room is still ‘in progress’.
Very nice. How about pictures of yours too?

Cool room, interesting he went with the long wall on what looks to be a sizeable room. Love the ceiling - I've been wanting to implement something similar (smaller scale)
Will work on that! [emoji106]
Huge room indeed. The acoustic fixtures come from a previous Niles-designed music room. So his pick of orientation is likely a continuation of his previous room.

Love the red horns. Can you tell us what his equipment is.
Those are Avantgarde Trios. Basis (vacuum) TT, Trinnov preamp. He is now working on getting the speakers tuned with Trinnov’s room correction features
