I am taking careful notes on this entire thread. Thank you, Rick, crtl and other contributors.
Bluefuzz made a critical point for me, "A project that is either too ugly or too difficult (or both) to build is doomed from the start."
One technique I am considering for diffraction reduction and build simplicity is an upholstered cabinet, covered with a couple of inches of acoustic insulation and one of the nicer Guilford of Maine fabrics. Is that too ugly, or just different?
