[TitaniumTroy]

Anybody know if this trap is for real or is snake oil?

Here are a couple of reviews, but I am still skeptical if it was so great. I think their would be more buzz about it. http://www.stereophile.com/content/musi ... WuGOkaT.97

Spring traps have been around for decades. RPG acoustics makes them tuned to specific frequencies, but there are others on the market.

These are the best way to address standing waves in the deep bass range without completely redesigning your room, but they tend to be quite expensive.

Here's a link to the equivalent RPG product which works a little differently. The RPG product is offered in three varieties, each tuned to a different frequency specifically aimed at the common floor to ceiling standing waves and absorbing a massive amount of energy at that tuning frequency and less on either side.

They also offer different form factors besides corner traps.
