Acoustic Damping Behind Speakers?

My speakers are placed about 3.5 feet from the wall behind them, which is just drywall. I get a funny echo from the wall and have been using the cushions from the sofa as dampers, which actually work fairly well. I can't imagine why, but my wife does not think this is an ideal solution, so I'm looking into some sound deadening options.

I was looking at Acoustimac panels, which are reasonable at about $50 each. Does anyone have any other favorite - and reasonably priced - products?

Also, at this point I'm only contemplating using two, placed directly behind the speakers. It would be difficult to get any more past 'she who must be obeyed'. Would this be sufficient? The room has a lot of stuffed furniture in it.

Thanks!

I use these products in my dedicated audio room in North Carolina.

They are very nice to deal with and the products look and work great. I was initially going to use Room Tunes or GIK tuning materials, but liked that Acoustics First did custom color at reasonable prices. The items were very easy to install, and look and sound great. It's nice that the wife likes the look of the product in her house too.....

I came across them by accident, but am glad I found them. Reasonable cost and nice folks too!!!
