Ha! Congratulations. The owner of that venue is obviously more pro-active, and
listens to reason.

Sound absorbing vs. sound scattering: I have to admit that I never thought about
the differences(!) Thanks for the brain-boost ;-)  My previous ideas about
modifying my local venue's L-shaped corner involved using lots of
randomly-oriented carpeted/padded panels, sticking out from the walls. (Based on
low cost.) But perhaps the panels should have hard surfaces(?) I obviously need
to do more research, ha. (Not that I have much chance of implementing the idea,
sad to say.)
