Todd--

Check the Yellow Pages and other directory sources for the kind of outfits that install Home Theaters and also supply the components for such that likely are in your area.

Room treatments, panels, design guides, etc. have never been more easily accessible nor as inexpensive due to the wide interest in Home Theater installations.

And the Home Recordist can take big advantage of that, as the techniques are pretty much identical as to acoustic environment treatment.

I know a young fella around these parts who just walked up and told the installers of Home Theater stuff what he was about, Home Recording, and asked them if there were any leftovers in panels, wall treatment materials, etc. - and the guys on the crews kept bringing him cutoffs, partially filled boxes of acoustic tiles leftover from jobs, etc. - which he pieced together to build a rather nice home studio in the family farm outbuilding. zero dollar situation as to materials.
