Those are air tanks, not acoustic treatments.  For the Eminent Tech tone arm.

Giant Bass Trap on back wall.  The listening room is 30+ feet long, so standing waves were a problem.  The room is capable is generating extremely low bass response in conjunction with the transmission line woofers.  That's my bike setup on the trainer clear back there.  I'm also in dire need of some furniture.
